Trojan is a C++ proxy server/client that disguises traffic as ordinary HTTPS over TLS to bypass the Great Firewall of China. It implements the trojan protocol, imitating common web services to avoid active and passive censorship detection.

Use cases

  • bypass the great firewall of china
  • circumvent internet censorship
  • proxy traffic disguised as https
  • avoid isp qos throttling
  • set up an anti-censorship proxy server
  • tunnel traffic over tls to evade detection

When to choose

  • you need censorship circumvention that resists active probing and traffic fingerprinting
  • you want a lightweight TLS-based proxy that looks like normal HTTPS traffic
  • you are in a network with ISP QoS throttling of VPN protocols

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose VPN with full system-wide tunneling
  • you want a actively developed project with frequent updates
  • you need user-friendly GUI configuration rather than config files
