trojan VS v2ray-core

A fellow Aussie currently in China, a Trojan [0] server has been working fine for the last week I've been here. I've got it hosted through a VPS (smaller provider) in LA. While it's a bit of a pain to setup, reliability has been rock solid and definitely useable - my laptop is connected 24/7 and I can access the unfiltered web, including video, just fine. V2ray also supposedly works quite well, but I haven't looked into it.

Normal VPNs that you can see ads all over the place like N*rdVPN won't work, period. The correct way is to rent a few servers from different providers, make sure their ips are not blocked, and build your own V2Ray or Trojan service first. The Chinese gov will not be able to distinguish your Trojan traffic from ordinary https traffic, so the only thing that's sus to them would be the fact that all your traffic goes to one foreign ip, but I've been doing it for a few years without officials knocking on my door so yeah I think it will work for you as well. I don't take responsibility tho, do your research.

(TrojanGFW)[https://github.com/trojan-gfw/trojan] and (V2Ray)[https://github.com/v2fly/v2ray-core]. But you need your own server to do it, and some few tweaks. For first-timer it might be quite confusing to configure, but you will understand how it works in the long run. You could also tunnel your connection to your server which then forward it to protonvpn (which what I'm doing rn).

v2ray or Trojan

Hey there! Lots of experience with this having lived in China for 2 years. I recommend you look into xray-core or v2ray.

Here are my configs: https://github.com/acheong08/notes/tree/main/xray

cd ~ wget https://github.com/v2fly/v2ray-core/releases/download/v5.7.0/v2ray-linux-64.zip sudo apt install -y unzip unzip v2ray-linux-64.zip cp geoip/output/dat/* . ./v2ray uuid

If the changing por trick work you can try shadowsocks or v2ray.

Given that every other client is mostly using https://github.com/v2fly/v2ray-core that can be compiled for every architecture/platform that Outline client supports, maybe it's worth investing time into allowing it as a backend. It can even be used for pure shadowsocks since it's for sure more updated than the old golang shadowsocks implementation.
