# Trojan

As the most commonly used TLS proxy made in China, Trojan can be used in various combinations,
but only the combination of uTLS and multiplexing is recommended.

    !!! info "Tip"
        
        Use `sing-box merge` command to merge configuration and certificate into one file.

        {
          "type": "trojan",
