What happened to it?

The original GitHub repo by vxiiduu was taken down, as well as the creator, vxiiduu, with no apparent reason or explanation.
Here's the latest snapshot of the VxKex original repo and vxiiduu's original profile.

Since then, there have been may fake accounts and repos, and currently THERE IS NO OFFICIAL VXIIDUU ACCOUNT OR VXKEX REPO, you can follow updates on the status of the project here

Can I still download and install it?

Fortunately, you can still download the latest version by going into the releases page of the archived version of the original repo, or checking some of the GitHub repos that uploaded the source code and the archived version.
According to this post, these are some trusted forks:

  • https://github.com/i486/VxKex/ -- issue page is enabled (also has donation page, so maybe this is the way forward?, the guy also cares about compatibility because I saw him comment on projects of that nature)
  • https://github.com/commandcontrolQ/VxKex -- issue page is disabled (the guy explains he has no plans to maintain it)
  • https://github.com/BeitDina/VxKex -- issue page is disabled (probably similar story, or issues are supposed to be tracked elsewhere or the guy just forgot you need to re-enable issues if u fork the repo)

Alternatively, I have the original release installer, debug installer and source code downloaded from the orginal repo, so if you want it you can DM me on Discord: @rayo287
