Outline Community Hub

The Outline Community Hub helps Jigsaw better serves the community that uses Outline and Outline SDK. It is hosted by Team CommUNITY.

• Connect with Outline staff and community members
• Get access to information, documentation, best tips, and FAQs
• Collaborate with other technologists over technical challenges and time-sensitive censorship crises
• Provide feedback that can improve Outline and the further develop SDK

How to Join the Community Hub

The Community Hub is for technologists, activists, CSOs, journalists, and really any tech-aware users who are either working on or seeking to circumvent online barriers to access the Internet.

The first step should be joining our low volume, announce-only mailing list where we share upcoming events and Outline updates.

Who We Are

Outline

Outline makes it easy to set up your own virtual private network (VPN) and share it with your network for safer, more resilient access to the open internet. Outline consists of two products (Outline Manager & Outline Client) that are both powered by our cutting-edge, core technology through Outline SDK.

Outline SDK

Outline SDK is a cross-platform library and set of tools for app developers to easily reuse Outline’s advanced networking strategies to protect apps and VPNs against network-level interference. Internet censorship is constantly evolving. And now, proven strategies from Outline that have helped millions of users access the internet even in the harshest conditions are available to developers in an easy-to-use SDK. Outline SDK works across all major platforms and has been carefully designed to allow for flexible composition and reuse of our technology.

Jigsaw

Jigsaw is a unit within Google that explores threats to open societies, and builds technology that inspires scalable solutions. Much of the world’s internet users experience digital censorship that restricts access to news, information, and messaging apps. We’re building tools to protect participation in the global internet.

Team CommUNITY

Team CommUNITY (TCU) is a community-based membership network that brings together digital defenders from across the globe fighting surveillance, censorship, and other issues sitting at the intersection of human rights and technology. We foster and nurture healthy, resilient, and inclusive communities of digital rights defenders across the globe. Our community works to achieve digital rights and internet freedoms for all. We do this by offering services and creating joyful community spaces that further members’ work and wellbeing, while enhancing collaboration, solidarity, and equity in the wider digital rights field.
