In a few months I need to go in an authoritarian country for work and I need a VPN. Last time (2018) the only one it worked reliably was outline based on a self hosted VM.

But went back to see and it looks like abandoned. Link rot in home page if I select my language, no docker install in 2023 and the fact that was developed by Google is a big negative sign (not because of privacy issues, but because they get bored with their project, they abandon them and start an identical but incompatible one)

There are better alternatives in 2023? I need to have as most chances to connect to the uncensored internet as otherwise I can’t work and my 2 weeks work trip becomes a 2 weeks vacation where I can’t even check my email or work chat

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don’t control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we’re here to support and learn from one another. Insults won’t be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it’s not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don’t duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.
