Issue: You may encounter an error message stating that V2Ray/Xray failed to start because it couldn't bind to the TCP port (e.g., "failed to listen TCP on 1081"). This is usually due to the port being in use by another application or being blocked by the system.
Solution:
- Check for Port Conflicts: Use
netstat -anbin Command Prompt (run as Administrator) to identify if another application is using the same port. If found, either stop the conflicting application or change the port in the V2Ray/Xray configuration file. - Run with Administrator Privileges: Ensure that V2Ray/Xray is running with elevated permissions. Right-click the application and select "Run as Administrator."
- Change the Listening Port: Edit the
config.jsonfile to use a different port if the current one is unavailable.
