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.

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.

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.

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

that’s an odd thing to hear

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

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