  • To be honest, I’m also not that knowledgeable about it even though I do have it running on a VPS. And can’t say I’m too knowledgeable about networking/VPNs either - I do use Wireguard which I also manage, but that’s about it.

    So, some bulletpoints instead:

    • It’s kinda a pain to set up
    • It’s default server configuration logs all requests, so you might want to disable this
    • As far as I understand, it’s more of a proxy than a VPN, so you won’t be able to make connections from one client to another
    • It mimics standard HTTPS
    • When using the “reality” protocol it successfuly mimics any website of your choosing for any unauthenticated clients by forwarding HTTPS certificates and whatnot, which protects you from active probing
    • People use it to get around the Great Firewall of China
