Understanding Trojan Protocol: Why It Delivers Faster and More Stable Network Acceleration

When choosing a network acceleration service, you may encounter various protocol names: WireGuard, Shadowsocks, Trojan, etc. Today, let’s dive deep into the Trojan protocol used by DageYun and understand why it delivers faster and more stable connections.

Key Takeaway: Trojan protocol uses standard HTTPS (TLS 1.3) as its transport layer, offering low overhead, fast handshakes, and high security — making it one of the most efficient network acceleration protocols available.

What is Trojan Protocol?

Trojan is a modern network transmission protocol designed to provide efficient and stable network connections while ensuring security. It uses standard HTTPS protocol as its transport layer, making it indistinguishable from regular web browsing traffic.

Core Design Philosophy

User → Trojan Client → TLS Encrypted Tunnel → Trojan Server → Target Website

Trojan’s design philosophy is simple: use standardized internet protocols to ensure connection compatibility and stability.

Trojan vs Traditional Solutions

Feature	Trojan	Traditional Solutions
Transmission Efficiency	High (Standard HTTPS)	Medium
Connection Speed	Fast (TLS 1.3)	Slower (Multiple handshakes)
CPU Usage	Low	Higher
Connection Stability	Strong	Average
Configuration Complexity	Simple	Complex

Why is Trojan Faster?

1. Less Protocol Overhead

Traditional solutions typically require multiple layers of encapsulation:

Data → Protocol Encapsulation → Encryption → TCP/UDP → Transmission

Trojan directly utilizes TLS:

Data → TLS Encryption → Transmission

Fewer protocol layers naturally means faster speeds.

2. TLS 1.3 Advantages

Trojan uses TLS 1.3 by default, which compared to TLS 1.2 offers:

Faster handshakes: Reduced from 2-RTT to 1-RTT, even supporting 0-RTT reconnection
Stronger encryption: Removed insecure encryption algorithms
Better performance: Optimized encryption process

3. Efficient Data Transmission

Trojan protocol’s streamlined design avoids the performance loss from redundant encryption, making your network experience smoother.

Security Analysis

Transport Encryption

Trojan uses TLS 1.3, currently the most secure transport layer encryption protocol, widely adopted by major websites globally:

Target port: 443 (standard HTTPS port)
Protocol: TLS 1.3
Certificate: Valid SSL certificates

Replay Attack Prevention

Trojan protocol has built-in replay attack prevention mechanisms to ensure data transmission security.

Privacy Protection

The protocol doesn’t log any user activity information. Combined with DageYun’s zero-log policy, your privacy is maximally protected.

DageYun’s Trojan Optimizations

DageYun has made several optimizations on top of standard Trojan:

Smart Routing: Automatically selects optimal paths
Multiplexing: Reduces connection establishment overhead
Traffic Optimization: Improves transmission efficiency
Load Balancing: Ensures node stability

Real-World Experience

With Trojan protocol, you’ll experience:

4K videos start instantly, no buffering
Video calls are smooth and stable
Gaming latency significantly reduced
Daily browsing feels like local network
