TrustTunnel is a modern open-source VPN protocol originally developed by AdGuard VPN, with this repository containing the VPN endpoint (server). Its traffic is indistinguishable from regular HTTPS, letting it bypass throttling and deep-packet inspection while tunneling TCP, UDP, and ICMP.

Use cases

• run my own vpn server that bypasses deep packet inspection
• hide vpn traffic as regular https to avoid throttling
• self-host a fast obfuscated vpn endpoint
• tunnel tcp udp and icmp traffic through a stealth vpn
• deploy a vpn protocol that resists censorship and blocking
• replace openvpn or wireguard with a stealthier protocol

When to choose

• you need VPN traffic that looks like normal HTTPS to evade DPI or throttling
• you want to self-host a VPN endpoint with fast, low-overhead tunneling
• you prefer TLS-based encryption over custom cryptography

When to avoid

• you need a simple point-and-click VPN without server setup
• you require WireGuard's minimal attack surface and simpler auditability
• your platform lacks a compatible client (server supports only Linux and macOS)
