How to install Stealth Proxies on Linux

1. Important notes

The main goal of stealth proxies is to bypass DPI. Please note that the stability and speeds might not be the same as on our VPN servers. Available locations are not permanent and might be removed/replaced, because our IP ranges get blocked.

We don't recommend using stealth proxies if you can use WireGuard or OpenVPN. Please be aware that none of the protocols or clients we mention have undergone security auditing.

Notice that some of the clients might use 3rd party DNS by default or have DNS leaks.

2. Which location to use?

If you are connecting from outside China, you can use all proxy locations except for South Korea and Japan.

3. Which protocol to use?

For users connecting from China or Iran, we recommend using VLESS as the first choice and Trojan/VMess as the second choice.

If you are connecting from any other country, Shadowsocks is generally sufficient to bypass DPI.

4. Installing Nekoray

  5. Open NekoRay and click on "Preferences" - "Groups".
