The veteran that never rusts. A full OpenVPN review

Picture 2001. A developer named James Yonan decides to build something open and flexible. That's how OpenVPN was born — the grandfather of modern protocols. It has passed thousands of security audits and still runs half of the corporate VPN networks in the world.

The street racer of the VPN world. Why everyone moves to WireGuard

Jason Donenfeld got tired of the complexity of OpenVPN and IPsec. WireGuard is fast — like a Bugatti Veyron on an empty highway. Only 4,000 lines of code versus 70,000+ in OpenVPN. In 2020 Linus Torvalds personally merged it into the Linux 5.6 kernel.

A chameleon protocol. AmneziaWG 2.0 against DPI

DPI systems learned to detect WireGuard just by the handshake packet size. The AmneziaVPN team added stealth to WireGuard. Traffic looks like an ordinary DNS request, a Zoom video call, or a QUIC session.

Raw power and the smarts of QUIC. A Hysteria 2 review

Hysteria was born thanks to Chinese users frustrated with bypassing the Great Firewall. The Brutal algorithm sends more packets when loss is detected, to break through the wall. In Masquerade mode the server looks like a regular HTTP/3 site.

Lightweight and evolved. What VLESS is and why you need it

VLESS — the successor to VMess from the V2Ray ecosystem. It doesn't encrypt anything itself, but works great with TLS and Reality technology. The censor sees you connecting to Microsoft and thinks: "legitimate traffic, let it through." Recently ML-KEM post-quantum encryption was added.

The #1 tool for bypassing censorship. History and architecture of V2Ray

In 2015 a developer under the alias Lance introduced the V2Ray platform — a complete ecosystem: VMess, Shadowsocks, SOCKS, HTTP, Trojan and VLESS. Traffic can be wrapped in WebSocket over TLS and hidden behind a regular website.

Evolution on steroids. Why Xray is the new standard

In late 2020 a split happened in the proxy world. The developers of VLESS and XTLS forked V2Ray into Xray. Its headline feature is REALITY: the censor sees a TLS connection to Microsoft and can't block it. Tests show Xray Reality is sometimes faster than a direct connection.
