Jigsaw, an incubator that's part of Google's parent company, Alphabet, has launched Outline, an open-source virtual private network (VPN) that you can host on your own server at no charge.

Jigsaw, the Alphabet-owned tech incubator that focuses on human rights issues, is hoping to change all that. Jigsaw created the app Outline, which will offer a DIY solution to commercial VPN issues.

Outline is an open source VPN and VPN server from Google's Jigsaw group. This service allows anyone, anywhere in the world, to access the free and open internet.

The number of daily users of Outline’s VPN on Android jumped a whopping 1,500 percent in Iran during the fall of 2022, according to Jigsaw’s lead engineer for internet freedom, Vinicius Fortuna.
