Outline VPN is a privacy and security application designed to help users protect their online identity and data by providing a secure connection to the Internet. It provides a secure tunnel for users to connect to the web and encrypts their data before it leaves their device. Outline VPN also offers a firewall to protect users from malicious websites and applications, as well as features to block ads, trackers, and other unwanted content. It also includes a kill switch to disable the internet connection if the VPN connection fails, and a DNS leak protection feature to prevent the ISP from tracking users’ activities. Additionally, Outline VPN includes a “split tunneling” feature to allow users to route some traffic through the VPN while leaving other traffic unencrypted. Outline VPN is available for Windows, Mac, iOS, Android, and Linux.
Warning This application is suspected of malicious behavior, although these allegations are in dispute. The software allegedly connects to financial institution and government websites, and uses the PC for attacks against them. It disables SSL certificate checks and allows man-in-the-middle attacks to steal authentication credentials. It hooks into the browser and uses suspicious compression to hide parts of the program.
