Amnezia: Open-source self-hosted VPN with advanced DPI obfuscation

Thank you for the question!

I see that Mitsuha already answered that question. Our commitment to provide stable connection in restricted networks was recognised by WhatsApp. The internet situation in Russia and Iran is among the worst in the world, and these are the countries where most of our users come from.

There are some publications about operating in Russia: Wired, independent blog on Dev.to. But we also have friends and family living there who use Amnezia.

We want to highlight that Amnezia doesn’t work in Iran during the internet shutdown, since there is no access to the global internet and it’s impossible to turn on VPN. However, before the shutdown, people in Iran were actively using Amnezia. We saw this in our local chat for Iran users in Telegram (@amnezia_vpn_ir), and here’s an example of a VPN, popular in Iran, which uses our protocol – Rostam VPN

By the way, our app supports VLESS REALITY too.

Amnezia offers both a traditional VPN option – Amnezia Premium, where users just press a button to connect – and a self-hosted option that can be configured individually. It helps in censored environments for several reasons: users can make a VPN cascade, choose a hosting provider and IP address. Plus, when there is only one user, it’s harder for DPI systems to detect the VPN traffic.
