# Hysteria

Client implementation of the Hysteria protocol.

This page is very simple because the Hysteria protocol is actually composed of a simple proxy control protocol and a tuned QUIC transport implementation. In Xray, the proxy protocol and transport configuration are separated. For more details (such as `brutal`), please refer to transport configuration items [hysteriaSettings](../transports/hysteria.md) and [FinalMask.quicParams](../transports/finalmask.md#quicparams).

::: tip
The `hysteria protocol` itself has no authentication. When using with a non `hysteria` transport layer, it will be unable to proxy `udp`, and using it with other transport layers is not recommended.

## OutboundConfigurationObject

`OutboundConfigurationObject` corresponds to the `settings` item in [`OutboundObject`](../outbound.md).

```json
{
  "outbounds": [
    {
      // ...
      "protocol": "hysteria",
      // [!code focus:5]
      "settings": {
        "version": 2,
        "address": "192.168.108.1",
        "port": 3128
      }
    }
  ]
}
```

> `version`: number
