Hello, 👋
I have been enjoying the product, but have been wondering whether the team is considering adding other proxy protocols, such as Hysteria 2 and NaïveProxy.
More choice in protocols means that there is a higher chance of at least one of them working in a certain restrictive environment. Additionally, Hysteria 2 seems "great for gaming, streaming, and large file transfers", making it fast but less detectable than WireGuard and AmneziaWG.
Thank you!

Hi,
We’ve been researching Hysteria 2 for some time and even donated to the project.
Currently, there are no plans to add this protocol in the near future, simply because other protocols are working fine. Once we have done enough research and testing, we might roll it out, but only if some of the existing protocols get blocked.
One important thing to note is that the Great Firewall of China (GFW) began blocking QUIC connections this year. Additionally, Iran entirely blocked QUIC traffic to servers outside the country (as far as I remember, this was a temporary block).
We haven’t researched NaïveProxy much, since the ecosystem is still small and there aren’t many clients available. However, we’ll follow its development and reconsider adding it if it gains more popularity.
I’ve changed the topic status to “Researching” and will update it if we start working on implementing Hysteria.
Hysteria2 Salamander seems to be working in Russia. I'd love to see Hysteria support too.
Don't forget to upvote the suggestions! :)
Hey @0xVirtualCake,
Just wanted to let you guys know that I've had instances when Naive and Hysteria 2 worked when no other VPN protocol/service worked.
Thank you for all the great work on the product!
Update time! ✨
Hysteria 2.0 is currently implemented in our test environment. Everything seems to work fine, but still needs a lot of testing. Once the testing is done we will release it to everyone or have small closed beta testing before.
I am moving this request into "In Progress" stage.
This is huge! I'd love to test it.
add me in for a beta!
super keen for amnesia 1.5 too. its a great protocol for me in UAE.
We have now implemented Hysteria 2.0 in open beta. You can test it out by updating your subscription in the client of your choice (as long as it supports Hysteria 2.0). One servers named "NL / Hysteria2 (experimental) should show up in the list.
In case you find any issues or bugs, please send us an email or ticket and we will look into it.
RTD is nice. 2x improvement compared to XRay core protocols.
Hysteria2-avx works great on pc using the 1st party client. On Android, I'd only use an experimental sing-box-android version since it's the only stealth proxy client i can trust. It has a specific URI scheme and its impossible to import xeovo configs via QR code for now, but you can convert the advertised config manually.
On a brighter side of things, Mullvad VPN client on Android now has QUIC obfuscation support, which seems to be working even on the historically stricter networks. I'm not sure why RKN doesn't block plain QUIC, but my strategy is to switch between AmneziaWG with xeovo and Mullvad since those are the only leak-proof options i know of.
That’s what has me excited for amnesia 1.5. The ability to signature spoof QUIC flows.
shadowrocket on ios26 sees it, categorises it as hysteria2. but no data flow for me.
