We’re excited to share that Trust.Zone VPN now supports the VLESS protocol!
VLESS is a lightweight, next-generation VPN protocol designed to provide faster, more secure, and more efficient connections.
Unlike older protocols, VLESS minimizes data overhead, adapts easily to unstable networks, and is great at bypassing censorship. It’s flexible, encryption-agnostic, and perfect for activities like gaming, streaming, and secure browsing—offering a seamless balance between speed and privacy.
Let’s explore why VLESS is a great upgrade for your VPN experience.
1. Simplified Handshake and Authentication
VLESS uses a streamlined handshake, avoiding built-in authentication and relying on external encryption instead. This reduces redundancy, cuts down latency, and boosts connection speeds.
2. Modular Encryption
VLESS is encryption-agnostic, meaning it doesn’t enforce its own encryption. Instead, it can pair with protocols like TLS, offering flexibility in choosing optimal encryption without added computational load—leading to improved performance.
3. Minimal Packet Overhead
VLESS minimizes packet overhead by reducing unnecessary metadata, unlike traditional protocols like OpenVPN. This streamlined packet format results in lower latency and faster speeds.
4. Flexible Transport Modes
VLESS supports multiple transport layers such as TCP, WebSocket, and QUIC, allowing it to adapt to various network environments. This flexibility helps evade censorship and ensures stable connections even in challenging conditions.
5. Anti-DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) Capabilities
VLESS uses encryption and obfuscation layers (e.g., TLS, HTTP/2) to disguise VPN traffic as regular HTTPS. This makes it effective at evading DPI and overcoming censorship imposed by ISPs or governments.
