that's "shadowsocks"
wireguard is fingerprintable. it's trivial to look at packets and see "this is wireguard". and block the packets
Outline traffic looks much more like noise (pre-shared keys, lack of handshake, …)

I'm not familiar with the software, but according to Wikipedia it's a client to connect to a SOCKS5 proxy:
> Shadowsocks is not a proxy on its own, but (typically) is the client software to help connect to a third-party SOCKS5 proxy, which is similar to a Secure Shell (SSH) tunnel.

outline builds a user-friendly toolset on top of it
