# Hysteria 2

The most popular Chinese-made simple protocol based on QUIC, the selling point is Brutal,
a congestion control algorithm that can resist packet loss by manually specifying the required rate by the user.

!!! warning

    Even though GFW rarely blocks UDP-based proxies, such protocols actually have far more characteristics than TCP based proxies.

| <code id="password"><code> | <button class="md-button" onclick="generate()">Refresh</button> |

<script>
    function generate() {
        const array = new Uint8Array(16);
        window.crypto.getRandomValues(array);
        document.getElementById("password").textContent = btoa(String.fromCharCode.apply(null, array));
    }
    generate();
</script>

## :material-alert: Difference from official Hysteria

The official program supports an authentication method called **userpass**,
which essentially uses a combination of `<username>:<password>` as the actual password,
while sing-box does not provide this alias.
To use sing-box with the official program, you need to fill in that combination as the actual password.
