NordVPN confirms it was hacked

Another option is Outline VPN, Jigsaw/Google's open source implementation of Shadowsocks:

https://github.com/Jigsaw-Code/outline-client

https://github.com/Jigsaw-Code/outline-server

Shadowsocks is more resistant to censorship from adverse actors (such as the Great Firewall) than OpenVPN.

Outline's user experience is the best I've seen among self-hosted VPN solutions, as it includes apps for both the server and the client. The server app is suitable for use in organizations, and can manage VPN profiles for multiple individuals.

It's an alternative for sure and has specific use cases, but calling Outline a VPN is disingenuous. It's just a Socks proxy with some obfuscation built in.

Shadowsocks handles all of the use cases of a VPN. When all of a device's internet traffic is routed through Shadowsocks, there is no functional difference to the user. This is the default behavior for all Outline clients (desktop and mobile).
