that's "shadowsocks" wireguard is fingerprintable. it's trivial to look at packets and see "this is wireguard". and block the packets Outline traffic looks much more like noise (pre-shared keys, lack of handshake, …)

> that's "shadowsocks" I'm not familiar with the software, but according to Wikipedia it's a client to connect to a SOCKS5 proxy: > Shadowsocks is not a proxy on its own, but (typically) is the client software to help connect to a third-party SOCKS5 proxy, which is similar to a Secure Shell (SSH) tunnel. Are you saying that's incorrect?

  that's oversimplification. raw socks5 is a low-level thing without encryption. shadowsocks puts a solid cryptolayer on top of it, designed specifically to be hard to detect. its Chinese origin gives a hint here: it is created to circumvent detection by "great firewall" outline builds a user-friendly toolset on top of it

Shadowsocks is defunct now. Has been for a while; a connected server's IP can be detected and blocked within hours. That means Outline's defunct in a lot of places too. What's currently 'hot', in large part, is v2ray [1], be that vless, vmess, trojan, etc. [1] https://zh.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/V2Ray https://zh.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/V2Ray
