We investigate the quantum ($S = 1/2$) $K$-$J$-$\\Gamma$ model on the honeycomb lattice by a variational Monte Carlo (VMC) method. In addition to the \"generic\" Kitaev spin liquid (KSL), we find that there is just one proximate KSL (PKSL) phase, while the rest of the phase diagram contains different magnetically ordered states. The PKSL is a gapless Z$_2$ state with 14 Majorana cones, which in contrast to the KSL has a gapless spin response.
