[Question]: Setting up reverse proxies in the new release

[amirheyvaz]

What are you trying to do?

Hello,

I hope you are doing well. Thanks for the great repo!
I have a question with the nbew release. I have noticed that the whole menu structure is changed bit. Before, I could find a "reverse" tab in the "X-ray configs" page. Howver, now with the new menu structure I can not find it. Can you please point me in the right direction? I need to setup a reverse proxy.

Thanks in advance for your time and support.

Best regards

The dedicated Reverse tab that used to live under "Xray Configs" is gone — it was removed when the panel's frontend was rewritten in React. Confirmed in the current source (frontend/src/pages/xray/XrayPage.tsx): the Xray Configuration page now only has Basic / Routing / Outbound / Balancer / DNS / Advanced sections, no Reverse section.

Reverse proxying itself is still supported, just relocated onto VLESS's own reverse mechanism (internally referred to as VLESS's "simple reverse proxy" — see the comment on ClientReverse in internal/database/model/model.go:803), configured directly on the outbound and the client instead of a separate tab:

1. Outbounds (left sidebar) → Add Outbound (or edit one) → set Protocol to vless → fill in the Reverse tag field (frontend/src/pages/xray/outbounds/protocols/vless.tsx). Once it's non-empty, a Reverse Sniffing field also appears for that outbound.
2. Clients (left sidebar) → add/edit a client that belongs to a VLESS inbound → the same Reverse tag field is available there (frontend/src/pages/clients/ClientFormModal.tsx). It only appears for VLESS inbounds, not other protocols.
3. Routing (left sidebar) → add the routing rule(s) tying the two together; confirmed in RoutingTab.tsx that the outbound-tag picker on that page automatically includes your configured client reverse tags.

3x-ui doesn't add logic on top of this, so the actual bridge/portal wiring still has to follow xray-core's own VLESS reverse proxy documentation.

Two things worth knowing before you start:

• There's a currently open, unresolved bug, [Bug]: Web UI freezes when filling "Reverse tag" field in Outbounds (v3.5.0) #5947, where typing into this same Outbound-form Reverse tag field freezes the Save/Create buttons and the JSON tab on v3.5.0. A workaround suggested there (not fully verified) is to set settings.reverse.tag from the outbound's JSON tab instead of the Basic tab.
• If you actually need the older, generic Xray reverse object (bridges/portals, independent of VLESS) rather than this VLESS-specific mechanism, there's no form for it anymore — but the backend still passes a top-level reverse key through untouched (internal/xray/config.go:21), so it can still be added by hand under Xray → Advanced → Complete Template if your setup needs it.
