Journalists need safe access to information to research issues, communicate with sources, and report the news. That’s why today we’re announcing the release of Outline, a new open source tool that lets news organizations provide their network safer access to the open internet.
Outline makes it easy for news organizations to set up a corporate virtual private network (
VPN) on their own server to more safely connect to the internet and keep their communications private. Millions of people around the world already use VPNs to get access to important information, but VPNs aren’t always reliable or safe. Most VPNs require you to trust a third party organization with you data, which means you’re not always sure who’s running the servers and providing your access to the internet. Some VPNs don’t even use encryption.
Outline gives you control over your privacy by letting you operate your own server. And Outline never logs your web traffic. We made it possible to set up Outline on any cloud provider or on your own infrastructure so you can fully own and operate your own VPN and don’t have to trust a VPN operator with your data.
