They don’t just block based on IP, they also do deep packet inspection so if you use say, the OpenVPN protocol without changes, it can be blocked even on a private server.
Outline uses Shadowsocks (socks5 proxy) instead of OpenVPN, which makes it harder to detect.

There were several reports that DPI can detect shadowsocks. For example http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/8048116/
Is this something like Streisand [1]? Where it just configures a server to run a VPN service.

Looks like it. Interested to know how it compares.
Sounds very very cool. Possibly the simplest way for us geeks to support democracy.
I with there was a FAQ though because I have questions:
-Can I restrict the traffic? (e.g. I don't want illegal downloads coming from my IP)
-How do people discover your VPN? Is there a central repo which lists all Outline VPNs?

It is private and permissioned. You deploy the software on a server and create / send access keys to users you know.

I want something that looks this polished but to be a WireGuard client. :-)
Dan Guido, the author of AlgoVPN (https://github.com/trailofbits/algo), says this is basically just a copy of it https://mobile.twitter.com/dguido/status/976143448624508928
The claim is bogus. The outline is a just wrapper of shadowsocks, an open source SOCKS5 proxy tool developed since 2012.
However, the outline in its current form may indeed have certain license issue.

Page displays undefined two times in my browser (not sure what that would be, most likely Android WebView since I'm on Materialistic).

I imagine a multitude of small privately run VPNs will be much harder for the Chinese government to shutdown versus centralized VPN providers.
