Streisand is an Ansible-based automation tool that provisions a cloud server running multiple censorship-resistant VPN and proxy services such as WireGuard, OpenVPN, Shadowsocks, OpenConnect, SSH, and a Tor bridge. It generates a private HTML instruction site with client setup guides that can be shared with others.
Use cases
- set up a personal VPN server on a cloud provider
- deploy WireGuard and OpenVPN automatically with Ansible
- circumvent internet censorship in hostile networks
- create a Tor bridge with obfs4 pluggable transport
- generate shareable VPN setup instructions for friends and family
When to choose
- you want a multi-protocol VPN server provisioned nearly automatically
- you need censorship and throttling resistance with options like Shadowsocks and Tor bridges
- you want ready-made client instructions to share with non-technical users
When to avoid
- you need a maintained, actively updated tool - the last release was in 2021 and the project is archived
- you want a simple single-protocol VPN setup without Ansible complexity
- you have no Unix command-line or cloud provider experience
