Outline VPN, by Jigsaw (a Google/Alphabet subsidiary), is an open source tool that allows you to set up and manage Shadowsocks VPN servers with very little effort. There are clients for Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, Linux. It's designed for organizations, but is also easy for individuals to use. Configuration is automatic.

Outline integrates with DigitalOcean (easiest to use), Google Cloud, and Amazon Web Services. It also works with any other Linux server host.
Shadowsocks is resistant to the detection methods used by the Great Firewall, but has been steadily declining in effectiveness according to user reports on GitHub. It's still much better than OpenVPN, which reportedly gets interrupted frequently.
If you want a more comprehensive solution, you can also use the Streisand tool to set up a variety of VPN protocols, including OpenConnect, Shadowsocks, and WireGuard. On Streisand, Shadowsocks can be equipped with the V2ray plugin to help evade detection.

Streisand's setup process is slower and less reliable than Outline VPN's. There's no management console here, just a shell script (using Ansible) to deploy the services to a server. You are given instructions for manually setting up third-party client software (also open source) after the server deployment is complete.
