About:
Hysteria is a high-performance proxy tool designed to overcome network instability and packet loss. It utilizes an optimized QUIC-based protocol to maintain stable and fast connections even on poor quality networks. The tool acts as a versatile relay, supporting various proxy protocols like SOCKS5 and HTTP.
Key Features:
  • QUIC-based protocol for high throughput and anti-censorship
  • Automatic congestion control and packet loss mitigation
  • Supports multiple proxy modes (SOCKS5, HTTP, TCP/UDP relay)
  • Built-in obfuscation to disguise traffic
  • Simple configuration and binary distribution
Use Cases:
  • Securing and accelerating traffic on unstable Wi-Fi or mobile networks
  • Bypassing network censorship and firewalls (Great Firewall of China)
  • Creating a fast tunnel between servers or home networks
Alternatives:
  • WireGuard – WireGuard is a kernel-level VPN, whereas Hysteria is a user-space proxy tool specifically optimized for high packet loss environments.
  • Shadowsocks – Shadowsocks is a lightweight SOCKS5 proxy, while Hysteria offers built-in high-speed transport and congestion control out of the box.
