Protocol

VPNs that support Shadowsocks

Providers that offer Shadowsocks, which is about reaching a blocked network rather than about privacy.

The HushFleet teamRegister of 26 September 2026

Support for a tunnelling protocol, one page per term. U07_protocols replaced U07_modern_protocol in schema 3.4.0: the field used to carry the fastest protocol a provider offered — one value, three terms, only two of them the name of a protocol — and now carries the whole list. These pages are generated from the contract rather than counted from a spreadsheet.

Vendor protocols — Lightway, NordLynx, Hydra, Chameleon — get no page of their own. One vendor with one implementation already has a page: its review. NordLynx is published as wireguard_derived, which is what it is.

Four of the twelve terms — obfuscated, proprietary, vendor_open, wireguard_derived — are categories rather than protocol names: each says a protocol was disguised, closed or built on another, not which one it is. A record that publishes no protocol list at all appears on none of these pages (fifteen on file).
