  Someone has tested it in China and it can get around the Great Firewall.

  I imagine a multitude of small privately run VPNs will be much harder for the Chinese government to shutdown versus centralized VPN providers.

  Is this something like Streisand [1]? Where it just configures a server to run a VPN service.

  Sounds very very cool. Possibly the simplest way for us geeks to support democracy. I with there was a FAQ though because I have questions:

  -Can I restrict the traffic? (e.g. I don't want illegal downloads coming from my IP)

  -How do people discover your VPN? Is there a central repo which lists all Outline VPNs?

  I want something that looks this polished but to be a WireGuard client. :-)

  Dan Guido, the author of AlgoVPN (https://github.com/trailofbits/algo), says this is basically just a copy of it https://mobile.twitter.com/dguido/status/976143448624508928

  Page displays undefined two times in my browser (not sure what that would be, most likely Android WebView since I'm on Materialistic).
