  • Russia has started indiscriminately blocking all OpenVPN/WireGuard connections
    Outline (https://getoutline.org) is even easier to deploy than Streisand and uses Shadowsocks. - Source: Hacker News / 3 months ago
  • Set Up a Self Hosted Outline VPN with Amazon LightSail in 5 steps.
    Outline, a free and open-source VPN service developed by Google, is renowned for its user-friendly design. It can be conveniently established on diverse platforms, and this blog will specifically guide you through the process of setting up a self-hosted Outline VPN using Amazon LightSail. - Source: dev.to / 10 months ago
  • How can I bypass extreme website restrictions in my university wifi?
    Another good way is to set up your own VPN server on Digitalocean or something. Use a VPN protocol that is good at escaping detection. I recommend Outline VPN (getoutline.org). It's an open-source project that uses the Shadowsocks protocol and aims to provide censorship-free Internet to journalists in certain countries. It's not a VPN service so you need to set it up on your own server. Source: 9 months ago
  • Is there any way to circumvent the shitty VPN ban that we have in place other than, well, a VPN ?
    Use a self-hosted Outline on GCP or any other cloud platform, it works really well in my experience for circumventing these blocks. Source: 10 months ago
  • Shadowsocks vs. Astrill?
    Shadowsocks is a protocol. Technically not a VPN, but looks like one. Shadowsocks is a string of code that needs a server. You can get a VPS (aka server for $2/m) and install Shadowsocks. Alternately install outline, it's largely based on Shadowsocks. Works also with the Shadowsocks client, or others, like V2rayNG. Source: 11 months ago
  • Best VPN ? While Im in Russia?
    The safest thing is to rent a virtual machine and set up your VPS... For example outline , it's very easy to install. Source: 11 months ago
  • Make your own VPN with Fly.io, tailscale and GitHub
    Outline[1] is significantly easier to use. They have out of the box support for AWS, GCP and Digital Ocean. You can have your own VPN setup on digital ocean for $5 a month, and you can generate keys and share the VPN with friends/family who then only need to download the Outline app on their device. I have zero affiliation with outline but it's an incredibly useful tool, I was looking to build something similar... - Source: Hacker News / 11 months ago
  • Build your own private WireGuard VPN with PiVPN
    WireGuard/Tailscale are fine if you don't need to deal with state-wide censorship. They might be blocked quite easily. Outline/Shadowsocks has better chances to keep working (though it is not a true vpn, more like a private proxy) https://getoutline.org/. - Source: Hacker News / 12 months ago
  • How to Solve 4K Tokkit Issues
    Changing IP address might help you solve the download issue and overcome some challenges TikTok might send. Moreover, the platform has some regional restrictions. For example, you might not get all the content if you live in Germany and download an account from the USA. As a result, VPN or proxy can be helpful. You are not required to use a paid service. You can install any VPN with a free version to try, for... Source: 12 months ago
  • The Open Source VPN Out-Maneuvering Russian Censorship
    So this sounds pretty similar to Outline VPN, which we'd covered previously in the past. I wonder what advantages this has over that, if any. I'll have to look into this more. Source: about 1 year ago
  • VPN solutions for russians
    Outline VPN is free incredibly easy to set up. You could either install it on your home server or rent a VPS. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Best option just for minimal web browsing?
    "Free" OpenVPN is nothing special, you can just run the PiVPN or Angristan's OpenVPN script on any of those VPSes. Ultra.cc's built-in VPN only support up to 3 simultaneous session, while those scripts allow unlimited sessions (at least until you maxed the CPU with hundreds of MBps transfer), you can get faster speed & lower latency with WireGuard on PiVPN, or using Angristan's WireGuard script, if your ISP tries...

  • Trying to make a VPS/Vpn for me and my friends
    VPNs are very easy to setup, and you can use software like Outline or OpenVPN. Source: about 1 year ago
  • That was quick, just got this from my mum in chch
    I normally just use a cheap laptop or smth, chuck some random linux distro like ubuntu or debian on it, install outline, port forward and then it works. Source: about 1 year ago
  • meirl
    Security Researcher here - this is more thought experiment-grade and not something that I have/would test, but if everyone in your family connected out to something like Outline VPN which makes it easy to set up your own VPN server then connect to it via different apps for phones, Mac, PC, etc, it would mask your location and IP address for your whole family if you share the server. Source: about 1 year ago
  • Self made VPN Question!
    To set up and manage a Shadowsocks server, you can use Outline https://getoutline.org/. This installs a server program on your VPS and sets up access control, so you can share access to the VPN server through short "access keys". Source: over 1 year ago
  • Looking for an easy install script for an obfuscated vpn server
    Outline is a simple to deploy obfuscating 'VPN' based on Shadowsocks. Source: over 1 year ago
  • Does ExpressVPN work in China anymore?
    Download Outline Manager from https://getoutline.org/. The app will walk you through setting up your own server using Digital Ocean or AWS. Was using Astrill which worked but the price went up to $180 per year from $120 a year ago. Source: over 1 year ago
  • help us

  • Staying Safe Online - A Resource Collection For Protesters and Activists
    Https://getoutline.org/ can be self-hosted and securely shared to activists. Source: over 1 year ago
  • An Update on Outline Service in Iran
    Individuals who have sideloaded Outline Client on Android – installing it directly from the APK file rather than through the Play Store – will likely need to reinstall the app in order to take advantage of new features. To download and install Outline Manager and Outline Client visit getoutline.org or download the files from our reddit wiki. Source: over 1 year ago
