If I understand it correctly, it masks that its vpn traffic by appearing as QUIC traffic (udp under http)?

As the title of the RFC implies, QUIC obfuscation works by tunneling UDP through an HTTP server acting as a proxy.

…yes, it says so in the article.

HappyFrog@lemmy.blahaj.zone on 16 Sep 18:22 collapse

My confusion is more that that quote doesn’t confirm that they are trying to mimic QUIC traffic, only that they use udp with http.

floquant@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 17 Sep 02:00 collapse

The use of “tunneling” usually implies wrapping a protocol inside another, so it wouldn’t be mimicking QUIC, but rather be a genuine stream. I assume from the quote

This is great, I might try it again then. I want out of Proton.

Catalyst_A@lemmy.ml on 17 Sep 15:00 next collapse

I keep hearing Proton is supportive of Trump and will easily turn you over.

baguettefish@discuss.tchncs.de on 17 Sep 15:28 next collapse

that’s an odd thing to hear

Yeah their CEO said some weird shit last year. They also just rolled out an LLM chat bot this year. Sketchy company heavily leaning into enshittification.

I switched to Proton at one point because they’re one of the last few providers to offer port forwarding, but I recently cancelled it and went back to Mullvad.

That’s not true; he has never expressed support for Trump. The tweet people tark about<img alt="" src="https://slrpnk.net/pictrs/image/6436fbed-e4ae-4acd-8390-21586f8b9066.png">

Thank you. Now I’ve seen the actual tweet. There’s always a tweet with these MAGA folk.

Hm. Mullvad is looking better. Will look up these guys more.

kami@lemmy.dbzer0.com on 17 Sep 19:28 next collapse

May I ask you what are you using right now?

ki9@lemmy.gf4.pw on 17 Sep 19:29 collapse

Their interface rocks (no surcharge xmr payments!) but there’s no port forwarding

recklessengagement@lemmy.world on 17 Sep 15:22 next collapse

The way things are going, obfuscating the simple fact you are using a VPN is becoming increasingly important.

eleitl@lemmy.zip on 17 Sep 16:06 next collapse

“The Android & iOS apps will include QUIC obfuscation in future releases.”

NarrativeBear@lemmy.world on 06 Oct 03:30 collapse

If I run WireGuard at home as a personal VPN does it provide the same sort of QUIC obfuscation? Or is there something that I can implement similar?

herseycokguzelolacak@lemmy.ml on 06 Oct 09:24 collapse

Mullvad does it somehow, so it is definitely possible. No idea if Wireguard supports it or if they run something on top of wireguard.
