help Outline VPN FAQ

Who makes Outline VPN?

Outline was developed by Jigsaw, the technology incubator created by Google. It was introduced publicly in 2018 as a way for individuals and organizations to run their own private access servers.

Is Outline a normal commercial VPN?

Not exactly. Outline is a toolset for creating and managing your own Shadowsocks-based server rather than buying access to a shared VPN network like NordVPN or Mullvad.

What are the parts of Outline?

Outline has an Outline Manager for creating and managing servers, an Outline Server, and Outline Client apps. Clients have been available for Windows, macOS, Linux, ChromeOS, Android, and iOS.

Is Outline the same as Tor?

No. Outline can help route traffic through a server you control, but Tor Browser routes traffic through a multi-hop anonymity network and has different privacy goals.
