VLESS Reality Shadowsocks-2022 Hysteria2

A censorship-resistant VPS you control, from $5.76 a month

When a network blocks the sites you need, a small server in another country running a modern circumvention protocol is often the most reliable way through. Here is which protocol to pick, what size of server it needs, and what no protocol can promise.

Sizes and prices

Two servers that cover almost every personal setup

A proxy server is light. Prices are one-month prices; a 12-month term takes 50% off.

How it hidesLooks like a TLS handshake to a real website you chooseEncrypted stream with no recognisable headerLooks like HTTP/3 traffic
Certificate neededNo: it borrows the target site's handshakeNoYes, or use ACME

Weak pointMore moving parts to configureNeeds the newer 2022 ciphers; the old ones are weaker against probingUDP is throttled or blocked on some networks

No protocol is undetectable. Censors change their methods, so keep your software up to date and have a second protocol ready.

Setup

A VLESS Reality server in about ten minutes

Install Xray-core from the official project, then check every option against its current documentation before you rely on it.

Generate a user ID and a key pair
xray uuid            # your client ID
xray x25519          # prints a private key (server) and a public key (client)
openssl rand -hex 8  # a short ID
/usr/local/etc/xray/config.json (server)
{
  "inbounds": [{
    "port": 443,
    "protocol": "vless",
    "settings": {
      "clients": [{ "id": "YOUR-UUID", "flow": "xtls-rprx-vision" }],
      "decryption": "none"
    },
    "streamSettings": {
      "network": "tcp",
      "security": "reality",

        "dest": "TARGET-SITE:443",
        "serverNames": ["TARGET-SITE"],
        "privateKey": "YOUR-PRIVATE-KEY",
        "shortIds": ["YOUR-SHORT-ID"]
      }
    }
  }],

sudo systemctl enable --now xray
Choosing well

Choices that matter more than the protocol

The target site

Reality needs a real website to imitate. Pick a large site that supports TLS 1.3 and HTTP/2 and is not blocked where your users are. Do not choose a tiny site: it would stand out.

The server location

Choose a country with good connectivity to where you are. A nearer server is faster; a very distant one can feel slow even on a fast port. Our locations page lists all ten.

Your IP can still be blocked

A censor can block an address outright, whatever protocol runs on it. Have a plan: a second server in another country, and a spare protocol. A pay-as-you-go server you can replace is part of the plan, not a failure.

Keep it patched

Update Xray-core, Hysteria or Shadowsocks releases and the operating system regularly. Circumvention tools are updated precisely because detection methods change.

Do not share a port with other services

Do not run a website on the same IP and port you use for the proxy unless you know how to route it. Keep the proxy server single-purpose.

Honest limits

What a VPS can and cannot do

It can

  • Give you an address outside the network that blocks you
  • Carry your traffic with a protocol designed to resist detection
  • Be replaced in minutes if an address is blocked
  • Be paid for without a card or an ID

It cannot

  • Make you anonymous: the server owner and your ISP see traffic patterns
  • Guarantee it will not be blocked
  • Change the law where you live
  • Replace Tor when you need strong anonymity
FAQ

Censorship-resistant VPS questions

01What is a censorship-resistant VPS?

It is an ordinary VPS used as a private proxy in another country, running a protocol such as VLESS with Reality, Shadowsocks-2022 or Hysteria2 that is built to avoid detection and blocking.

02Which protocol is best: Reality, Shadowsocks or Hysteria2?

Reality is the common default, Shadowsocks-2022 is the simplest and lightest, and Hysteria2 is best on slow or lossy links. They can run side by side on different ports, so you can switch if one is blocked.

03Is WireGuard or OpenVPN enough?

They are good VPNs, but their traffic has a recognisable shape and is blocked on some networks. See WireGuard on your VPS for a normal setup, and use a circumvention protocol when it is blocked.

04How big a server do I need?

The $5.76 size (1 vCPU, 2 GB, 40 GB NVMe) is enough for a household. For a group of people at the same time, use 2 vCPU and 4 GB ($11.50 in Romania).

05What if my server's IP gets blocked?

Deploy a new server in another country, move your configuration across and update your clients. Because there is no contract, replacing a blocked server costs only the months you used.

06Can I pay without revealing who I am?

Yes. You create an account with a generated login and pay with Monero, Bitcoin, USDT or another supported coin. We never ask for a name, ID or phone number. See no-KYC VPS hosting.

07Is it legal?

That depends on where you are. Circumvention tools are legal in many places and restricted in others. You are responsible for following local law, and our terms prohibit abuse of the service.
