About this app
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

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).

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.

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.
