* feat(limitip): let operators exempt trusted addresses from the IP limit Behind a shared address — an office gateway, a campus NAT, a residential carrier — every user looks like the same client. One of them trips the IP limit and the address is disconnected and handed to fail2ban, taking the others with it. Today the only way out is editing jail.d by hand, which an update overwrites. Add an allowlist setting of addresses and networks. A matching address is neither banned nor counted towards the limit: counting it would still cut the shared network the entry exists to protect. Entries are validated on save rather than skipped at scan time — a typo would otherwise leave the address unprotected until someone noticed the bans. * fix(limitip): keep each doc comment on its function and one grammar for the list Three review follow-ups. loadAllowlist landed between hasLimitIp's doc comment and hasLimitIp itself, so godoc showed one function's rationale above another's body; it now sits after that function with its own comment. The parser advertised semicolons and whitespace as separators while the settings validator accepts commas only, making those forms unreachable through the panel and the API — a promise the software never keeps. Both sides now read the same comma-separated grammar. The dist stub was a build artifact and does not belong in the tree. * chore: drop the accidentally committed dist build stub internal/web/dist/.gitkeep is what make dist-stub creates locally. Committing it changes fresh-clone behaviour for everyone: today a bare go build fails loudly on //go:embed all:dist, which is the documented signal to run the stub target; with the file present the build succeeds and the panel serves an empty dist instead. * chore(i18n): translate the IP limit allowlist strings into the remaining locales Ten locales carried the English source text verbatim; only ru-RU and uk-UA were translated. The i18n dead-key test only checks that a key exists in every file, so an untranslated value passes it silently. Wording follows each locale's existing terms: the ipLimit noun already in the file, and the comma-separated IP/CIDR phrasing from trustedProxyCidrsDesc. * refactor(limitip): share one IP/CIDR list validator and read the allowlist only when enforcing The allowlist check in CheckValid was a line-for-line copy of the trusted-proxy loop directly above it. Both now call one helper, each passing its own message, so the two lists cannot drift apart. Run() read the allowlist on every 10s scan, including the majority of panels where no client carries an IP limit and the value is discarded. It is now read only once enforcement is known to apply. CheckValid had no test for either list. The new one pins that a malformed entry is rejected and that each list still names itself in the error, which is what the shared helper could otherwise break. --------- Co-authored-by: n0ctal <n0ctal@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Sanaei <ho3ein.sanaei@gmail.com>

3X-UI is an advanced, open-source web control panel for managing Xray-core servers. It provides a clean, multi-language interface for deploying, configuring, and monitoring a wide range of proxy and VPN protocols — from a single VPS to multi-node deployments.
Built as an enhanced fork of the original X-UI project, 3X-UI adds broader protocol support, improved stability, per-client traffic accounting, and many quality-of-life features.
Important
This project is intended for personal use only. Please do not use it for illegal purposes or in a production environment.
Features
- Multi-protocol inbounds — VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks, WireGuard, Hysteria2, HTTP, SOCKS (Mixed), Dokodemo-door / Tunnel, and TUN.
- Modern transports & security — TCP (Raw), mKCP, WebSocket, gRPC, HTTPUpgrade, and XHTTP, secured with TLS, XTLS, and REALITY.
- Fallbacks — serve multiple protocols on a single port (e.g. VLESS and Trojan on 443) using Xray's fallback support.
- Per-client management — traffic quotas, expiry dates, IP limits, live online status, and one-click share links, QR codes, and subscriptions.
- Traffic statistics — per inbound, per client, and per outbound, with reset controls.
- Multi-node support — manage and scale across multiple servers from a single panel.
- Outbound & routing — WARP, NordVPN, custom routing rules, load balancers, and outbound proxy chaining.
- Built-in subscription server with multiple output formats and custom page templates.
- Telegram bot for remote monitoring and management.
- RESTful API with in-panel Swagger documentation.
- Flexible storage — SQLite (default) or PostgreSQL.
- 13 UI languages with dark and light themes.
- Fail2ban integration for enforcing per-client IP limits.

Quick Start
bash <(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhsanaei/3x-ui/master/install.sh)
To install a specific version, append its tag (e.g. v3.4.0):
bash <(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhsanaei/3x-ui/master/install.sh) v3.4.0
To install the rolling dev build (latest per-commit pre-release from main, not a stable release), pass dev-latest:
bash <(curl -Ls https://raw.githubusercontent.com/mhsanaei/3x-ui/master/install.sh) dev-latest
During installation a random username, password, and access path are generated. After installation, run x-ui to open the management menu, where you can start/stop the service, view or reset your login credentials, manage SSL certificates, and more.
For full documentation, please visit the project Wiki.
Unattended install
The installer also runs non-interactively for cloud-init.
Set XUI_NONINTERACTIVE=1 (or pipe with no TTY) and it installs end-to-end with
zero prompts, generating random credentials and writing them to
/etc/x-ui/install-result.env. See deploy/ for:
- Cloud-init user-data — unattended install on any cloud (Hetzner/AWS/DO/Vultr/GCP/Azure/Oracle)
- Hetzner Cloud notes — cloud-init deployment on Hetzner
Supported Platforms
Operating systems: Ubuntu, Debian, Armbian, Fedora, CentOS, RHEL, AlmaLinux, Rocky Linux, Oracle Linux, Amazon Linux, Virtuozzo, Arch, Manjaro, Parch, openSUSE (Tumbleweed / Leap), Alpine, and Windows.
Architectures: amd64 · 386 · arm64 (aarch64) · armv7 · armv6 · armv5 · s390x.
Database Options
3X-UI supports two backends, chosen during the install:
- SQLite (default) — a single file at
/etc/x-ui/x-ui.db. Zero setup, ideal for small and medium deployments. - PostgreSQL — recommended for high client counts or multi-node setups. The installer can install PostgreSQL locally for you, or accept a DSN to an existing server.
At runtime the backend is selected via environment variables (the installer writes these to /etc/default/x-ui for you):
XUI_DB_TYPE=postgres
XUI_DB_DSN=postgres://xui:password@127.0.0.1:5432/xui?sslmode=disable
Migrating an existing SQLite install to PostgreSQL
x-ui migrate-db --dsn "postgres://xui:password@127.0.0.1:5432/xui?sslmode=disable"
# then set XUI_DB_TYPE and XUI_DB_DSN in /etc/default/x-ui and restart:
systemctl restart x-ui
The source SQLite file is left untouched; remove it manually once you have verified the new backend.
Docker
The default docker compose up -d keeps using SQLite. To run with the bundled PostgreSQL service, uncomment the two XUI_DB_* env lines in docker-compose.yml and start with the profile:
docker compose --profile postgres up -d
The image bundles Fail2ban (enabled by default) to enforce per-client IP limits. Fail2ban bans offenders with iptables, which requires the NET_ADMIN capability. docker-compose.yml already grants it via cap_add; if you start the container with docker run instead, add the capabilities yourself, otherwise bans are logged but never applied:
docker run -d --cap-add=NET_ADMIN --cap-add=NET_RAW ... ghcr.io/mhsanaei/3x-ui
