Free proxy setup using Render and VLESS

This is based on my censorship bypass guide. You may have heard me mention that I use Render for my VPN. This setup is built on top of the VLESS protocol developed by V2Ray — a highly effective protocol for bypassing censorship.

Each instance has a 10GB limit, but you can delete and redeploy the instance to reset the limit. The code is obfuscated to avoid keyword detection enforced by Render. Since Render is a web hosting platform, governments blocking Render will block all sites hosted on it. However, if only your specific address is blocked, you can simply redeploy your instance to get a new domain name.

Any email address should work, but if you’re privacy-conscious, consider using a custom email. This also allows you to register multiple accounts. Make sure to sign up for Render using a home IP address — if they detect a datacenter IP, they may ask for a credit card.

⚠️ This method is not widely known, so please don’t share it publicly to prevent it from being patched.

Steps:

  1. Create a Render account. No credit card is required, but make sure to sign up using your home IP.
  2. Remember this repo URL: https://github.com/eli32-vlc/scrper
  3. Create a new Web Application/Service instance on Render.
  4. Choose “Public Git Repository” and paste in the repo URL.
  5. Leave everything unchanged except:
  • Choose a location close to you.
  • Change the Build Command to: npm install
  • Set the instance type to Free

  1. Scroll down and click “Add from .env”

  2. Paste in the following environment variables:

    DISCORD_WEBHOOK_URL=your Discord webhook PORT=443 REFRESH_UUID_INTERVAL=300000 SPEED_LIMIT_MBPS=200 # (Change if desired) UUID_LIST_URL=https://pastebin.com/raw/PASTEBIN_ID

  3. You’ll need a list of UUIDs, one per line, hosted publicly (e.g., in Pastebin or a raw .txt file). Copy the raw URL and paste it into UUID_LIST_URL.

  4. Click Deploy Web Service

Set Up the Client

You can use:

  • Hiddify
  • Nekoray (archived)
  • V2RayN

Configuration:

  • Address:your-app-name.onrender.com
  • Port:443
  • UUID: one of the UUIDs from your list
  • Network:WS
  • SNI: same as address
  • Path:/

✅ You’re good to go! Save your .env settings in a text file for faster future deployment.
