Concealment Principles and Architectural Differences
Rather than creating its own encryption format, the Trojan protocol immediately wraps data in a website's standard TLS protocol. If a censor checks the address, the server displays a real web page. Combining WebSocket with TLS transport adds the ability to proxy through content delivery networks (CDNs), which saves the node if the hosting IP address is directly blocked.
How to Choose the Right Configuration
- Use Trojan for minimal network latency and high video streaming speeds.
- Choose the VLESS setup with WebSocket and CDN if your ISP has heavily blocked the server's IP address.
- Ensure a valid domain SSL certificate (e.g., from Let's Encrypt) is installed on the target server.
- Switch to ports 443 or 8443, which are standard for encrypted internet traffic.
