Why it matters
We look beyond stars: what problem it solves, whether it creates real utility, and what makes its approach worth noticing.
Problem
Network censorship creates severe connectivity drops for users in restricted regions, making self-hosted multi-protocol proxy management complex.
Practical value
Nova-Server aggregates Xray-core, sing-box, Hysteria2, and AmneziaWG behind a single port on a Linux VPS, providing a trilingual admin panel, setup wizard, multi-node fleet management, and automated Iran bridge failover tunnels.
Innovation / differentiation
It combines multi-protocol single-port multiplexing with specialized anti-censorship features like automated Iran bridge tunnels, fallback routing, and a multi-node architecture controlled via a single dashboard.
Leverage potential
Operators can deploy a production-ready proxy server with TLS, Telegram bot integration, and traffic management using a single installation script and a web interface.
Why now
The ongoing escalation of network filtering globally sustains high demand for resilient, self-hosted proxy orchestration tools.
Community activity
In the last 90 days there were 17 new issues and 1 pull requests; the bounded issue/PR samples include 15 issue authors and 1 PR contributors, with at least 50 releases.
Maintainer responsiveness
The 17-issue window sample had a 29% close rate, and the 1-pull-request sample had a 0% merge rate. Maintainer-response observations covered 100% of that issue sample, with a 12% response rate and median first response of 5.9 days.
Key highlights
- Supports VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks, Reality, Hysteria2, TUIC, NaiveProxy, and AmneziaWG protocols behind a single port
- Features a trilingual admin panel with a setup wizard, multi-user management, data quotas, and device limits
- Supports Iran bridge tunnels and multi-node fleet management from a single panel
Quick start
How it is installed, how hard it is, and where to start.
Where it runs
Self-hosted (your own server)
Difficulty
Medium — some setup needed
- 01Run the installation script on a fresh Ubuntu 20.04+ or Debian 11+ server
- 02Provide a domain, panel path, or port when prompted, or press Enter to use defaults
- 03Open the printed panel URL and set an admin password
- 04Complete the remaining configuration via the setup wizard on first panel visit
Best for
- Teams that want data on their own servers
More about it
Nova Server turns a plain Linux VPS into a private, censorship-resistant proxy node with a full admin panel. It runs Xray-core, sing-box, and AmneziaWG behind a single port, all driven by a self-hosted agent.
The setup wizard guides initial configuration through a brief questionnaire, automatically handling certificate issuance, node parameters, and starter user generation. The panel defaults to a simple mode that hides engine internals, while allowing operators to toggle advanced routing, custom outbounds, and multi-node management in settings.
Additional operational tools include Iran bridge tunnels, Hysteria2 port hopping, data quota management, multi-domain configuration, login guards, and automated backups.
