Two Products That Work Together
Outline consists of two interrelated products that work together to provide you and your community with uninterrupted access to the internet.
Step 1
Begin with the Outline Manager
Set up your server from the Outline Manager desktop application
Outline Manager WEB
Log in to Web Manager to begin setting up your server. We designed Outline so you can manage everything about your server in one place. Choose from a list of trusted cloud providers or use your own Linux infrastructure. Many cloud providers offer plans for $3 per month or less.
Outline allows you to choose where you want to host your server. Route your traffic through Singapore, Germany or the USA, as well as many other countries.
Step 2
Generate Access Keys
Create access keys to connect your devices and share access with your network
After setting up the server, generate unique access keys directly from the Manager web application. The manager allows you to send invitations to connect to your server through your preferred communication platform. Access keys are how you connect your devices to Outline Manager WEB and secure them with your server. Each access key is unique and can be managed or deleted directly from the server. Data limits allow you to control how much bandwidth each key is allowed to use.
Connecting to your server is as simple as accepting an invitation. Once connected, you can easily turn the connection on and off from the app.
Step 3
Get the Outline Client App for desktop and mobile
Connect using your unique access key
Outline Client
Download the Outline Client app from either the App store or Google Play store, and connect using your unique access key. The Client app is available for desktop and mobile devices, so you can access the open internet and communicate privately wherever you are and from all of your devices.
Once you’ve connected your own devices, you can share access to your server with your friends or co-workers. Generate unique access keys and send them to anyone in your network who needs unfiltered access to the internet. Manage access to your server with data limits, giving you the option to limit usage in case someone in your network is using too much bandwidth.
