Outline is a free and open-source tool that allows for easily deploying Shadowsocks servers on multiple cloud providers. The suite also comes with accompanying client software for multiple platforms. Outline was developed by Jigsaw, a technology incubator created by Google, and now operated as a subsidiary of Alphabet Inc.[3]

Components
Outline has three main components:


 * The Outline Server, that acts as a proxy and relays connections between the client and the sites they want to access. It’s originally based in Shadowsocks, and it offers a REST API for management of the server by the Outline Manager application.
 * The Outline Manager is a graphical application used to deploy and manage access to Outline Servers. It’s available on Windows, macOS and Linux.
 * The Outline Client connects to the internet via the Outline Server. Outline Clients are available for  Windows, Android, Chrome OS, macOS and iOS.

Protocols and Ciphers
Outline uses the Shadowsocks protocol for communication between the client and server. Traffic is encrypted with the IETF ChaCha20 stream cipher (256-bit key) and authenticated with the IETF Poly1305 authenticator.

Privacy and Security
Outline was audited by Radically Open Security and claims not to log users’ web traffic.
