FAQ

What does the Outline App do?

The Outline App allows you to connect to a virtual private network (VPN) server that you set up yourself. This enables you to access the internet more safely, keep your communications private, and bypass geographic restrictions.

How do I set up Outline?

Setting up Outline involves two parts: the Outline Manager and the Outline App. You first download the Outline Manager from getoutline.org to create and operate your VPN server. Once set up, you can download the Outline App on your phone or desktop to connect to your server.

Is Outline free to use?

The Outline App itself is free to download and use. The primary cost associated with using Outline is the hosting fee for the cloud server you set up to run your VPN. The Outline Manager and the app are provided at no charge.

Who can I share my Outline VPN with?

You can share access to your Outline VPN with anyone you choose, such as friends, family, or coworkers. The Outline Manager allows you to easily create invitations and share them directly, granting them secure access to your private network.

What makes Outline secure?

Outline uses strong encryption to keep your communications private and provides fast, reliable access to the open internet powered by the Shadowsocks protocol. It is also completely open source and has been audited by a nonprofit security firm, ensuring transparency and trust.
