Outline Server

Build and Test Mattermost Reddit

Outline Server is the component that provides the Shadowsocks service (via outline-ss-server) and a service management API. You can deploy this server directly following simple instructions in this repository, or if you prefer a ready-to-use graphical interface you can use the Outline Manager.

Components:

  • Outline Server (src/shadowbox): The core proxy server that runs and manages outline-ss-server, a Shadowsocks backend. It provides a REST API for access key management.

  • Metrics Server (src/metrics_server): A REST service for optional, anonymous metrics sharing.

Shadowsocks and Anti-Censorship

Outline's use of Shadowsocks means it benefits from ongoing improvements that strengthen its resistance against detection and blocking.

Key Protections:

  • AEAD ciphers are mandatory.
  • Probing resistance mitigates detection techniques.
  • Protection against replayed data.
  • Variable packet sizes to hinder identification.

See Shadowsocks resistance against detection and blocking.
