In this community knowledge share workshop, speakers from both Outline and Psiphon will walk you through:
- What the Outline and Psiphon Integration Means Outline SDK is now equipped with with Psiphon fall back capabilities - and Psiphon now uses Outline’s shadowsocks strategy in its app as well
- Why it Matters The integration of both technologies provides fail-safe redundancies, empowering service providers to keep users better connected.
- How it Helps Outline Providers If you are running an SDK-enabled app, you will now have more built-in options to keep your service online during moments of crisis.
- A New Era in Circumvention Tech: Interoperability This partnership is a first step toward an ecosystem where multiple circumvention tools act as mutual backups – increasing resilience for users worldwide and potentially transforming the field.
Have Questions?
Not sure if the fallback to Psiphon is right for your users? Wondering how to activate the new feature? Bring your questions to our live Q&A that will take place during this workshop! Representatives from both teams will be there to answer!
