More About Outline

Outline is an easy way for you to set up your own virtual private network (VPN) server to more safely access the open internet and keep your communications private.
If you have received an access key, download the Outline app to get started.

If you haven’t received an access key, you’ll first need to set-up your own server. Get started by downloading the Outline Manager from getoutline.org. Creating your own server is quick and easy, and instructions in the Manager will guide you through each step.

How Do I Set Up Outline?
- Outline consists of two related products: the Outline Manager and Outline.
- The Outline Manager lets you create and operate your own VPN, and share access with anyone you choose by sending them an invitation directly from the Manager. Once you’ve downloaded the Manager, you can easily set up a VPN server on a cloud provider in less than five minutes.
- After setup is complete, you can download the Outline app on your phone and desktop.
- Share internet access with coworkers or friends by inviting them directly from the Manager.
- If you’ve received an access code from someone using an Outline Manager you’re all set! Just download the app and get started.

Why use Outline?
- Fast, reliable access to the open internet, powered by the Shadowsocks protocol
- Allows you to create and maintain your own VPN server and provide access with those you trust
- Strong encryption keeps your communications private
- Completely open source and audited by a nonprofit security firm

Outline serves as a cross platfrom ShadowSOCKS Client in my case (I do not use Outline server, I use vanilla ShadowSOCKS instances). My only main issues are lack of IPv6 support and DNS passthrough which the ShadowSOCKS client on Android can do without issue. But overall the app is easy to use and very secure.

App works, but there's big downgrade compared to shadowsocks app. You cannot forward LAN-traffic directly, cannot filter apps etc. There's only 2 button: add server and connect. Client for Linux (this the same ported app) doesn't work at all. Nice job with protocol, but client app is pretty bad.

Thank you for helping Persians to connect internet. It works in Iran but very slow. Of course it is not the issue of application , it is heavy restriction on our internet. Hope you guys make it more faster, especially for browsing websites via Firefox and Chrome.

In the new version, the access key prompt always comes up when I open the outline where there's a copied content in the clipboard. Developers need to fix that. In the previous version, it prompted only when the clipboard content is an access key.

This app is literally useless. Most of access keys are totally unaccessable, and when one is lucky enough to make a connection, even with a stable verified access key, there is still no way to overcome the limitations/firewall. I hope you do something to rectify it

This app is great, I'm in Iran and I use it almost 24/7 with little to no issue, for all the people complaining about keys not working, this app is NOT a VPN, it's a connection to a configurated server which must be accessible in first place, I configed my own AWS server and bought a Domain to overcome the constant IP blocks and it works amazing.

Thanx for the ability to use our own servers. But there's a bug that the connection interrupts after ~hour+ of the phone inactivity, and I have to trigger it couple times to fix vpn connectivity. Also, pleeeease add split tunneling to select apps to ise with/without vpn!

The connect and disconnect function should be removed from the circle.. meaning the circle should be free from any touch function; since I've mistakenly disconnected my connection to the servers many time just by touching the circle area. The app is otherwise great. Simple and user-friendly. Does as it is advertised.

The application is not transferable to other devices. If you downoad it from one site for a device could not do it again for another and it infers you to the website to make your own access key???!!!Keeps disconnecting and connecting again won't last for more than a few seconds.As probably know, here google and all related apps and programms are filtered, even google play store, can't updste anything, won't even work with vpns.

It won't disconnect. I have to force close the app everytime to disconnect it. The lack of a notification that is shown when it's connected makes this extra annoying.

Very good VPN app that I highly recommend. Therefore, there is some efforts to do like smart proxy. Since we may not want everything going through the VPN connection especially for slow internet connectivity environment, adding this feature in order to allow user to filter apps they want to proxy is great idea. Overall, this application is really the best.

However we're suffering extreme internet issues in Iran but outline is a well-designed app. It is worth mentioning that shadowsocks is no longer a good choice for our iranians. Thus outline will not help anymore. I also have a suggest in the context of UX design: it will be so helpful to add a disconnect button on the notification bar. Everytime I must open the app to terminate the connection.

Good, but... Sometimes it's impossible to switch off it both on android ans ios. Pressing "disconnect" and it's or not disconnectingd or reconnected a moment later. Only swithch off through system settings helps. The most annoying bug for now.

I've been using outline for almost a year now. And it was working great. But for the past week it stopped connecting. I installed the updated version hoping that it would work, but it's doesn't connect at all. I've tried so many keys but none of them connect.

I like the app over any other VPN I've used. But it would be nice to have a quick settings tile to connect to a server with a click. Some of the competitors (the one from Switzerland) has it, and this feature is greatly useful. Overall, though, thank you guys for the app. The experience is really pleasant

Great service, but the app is not good enough. Sometimes, could not disconnect through the app and needs to be disconnected directly through the phone settings. The lack of a notification that is shown when it's connected

Sometimes, could not diconnect through the app and needs to be disconnected directly through the phone settings and that cause not connecting after press connect and needs the app fully closed and open again. Also, it sometimes automatically connect by its own after disconnecting from the app and needs to be re-disconnection and the app full closure. This issue specially occurs in my samsung device with Exynos chipset and in other devices, the app has better stability.

It became literally impossible to disconnect recently. If you have your VPN turned on for more than 5 minutes and then try to disconnect, it starts "disconnecting" you forever, while the VPN is still on, and restarting the phone doesn't help. The only way to disconnect when it happens is to go to phone settings and force stop the app, which is very annoying to do every time

Pretty good app. I like the idea of my own vpn. I wish it was pre-setup to work with more cloud providers. Yes, you can set it up yourself to work with whomever your cloud provider is but its much easier to do when they are preconfigured. Still, a good and useful app. Update: After playing with it, it's easy to set-up with many cloud providers. I also looked around online & found low end VPS boxes out there. I have an VPN running for about $2 a month. That I have more control over (logging).
