I've been using DS4F+Pi with great results, but I think one thing that helps is at the end of my prompt I'll tell it how to verify it, e.g. "Make sure the compose file works by running it locally (use self-signed certs if req

Repeating a prior comment I've made about this[0]: I run a rust webserver on a €4 VPS from hetzner that serves 300M (million) requests a day. From what I can figure out, Vercel charges "$0.60 per million invocations" [1], whi

I run a rust webserver on a €4 VPS from hetzner that serves 300M (million) requests a day. Way cheaper than doing that on _any_ "serverless" request-based platform, I think.

Could you clarify a bit more what you mean by "Domain Fronting is why ECH exists"? Because even with ECH, you (TLS client) can set any public_name you want, but the innerSNI can be something else. Or is that what you mean; since t

An example for the hub: ``` echo -e "GET / HTTP/1.1\r\nHost: www.pornhub.com\r\nConnection: close\r\n\r\n" | openssl s_client -connect 66.254.114.41:443 -quiet ``` This works for most ISPs in India, but if you set the SN

If i'm not mistaken its because IPs are actually much easier to rotate than domains. E.g. all the users will remember `example.com` , underlying it doesn't matter what IP it resolves to. If the IP gets "burned" , then th

Should've added this was back in like 2018 or so. Setting up DoH was harder than enabling SNI, and from my testing back then they were hard filtering on SNI (e.g. I used OpenSSL CLI to set the SNI to `pornhub.com` and connect to "

Glad that it's published, I'd been following it since ESNI draft days. Was pretty useful back when I was in India since Jio randomly blocked websites, and cloudflare adopted the ESNI draft on its servers as did Firefox client side

Sorry if its a bit unclear; the first part was HKG -> LHR when I kinda discovered it (9th May), and then the HTTPS proxy test was my flight back LHR -> HKG (18th May)

Yea, I run wireguard & OpenVPN on port53 (different VPS) just in case it works. Unfortunately my experience with the "pay to use" WiFi so far has been they validate that port 53 is valid DNS traffic, and often don't allow

I think that's essentially what my HTTPS proxy does; except rather than actually being over WhatsApp (i.e. using WA messages or w/ever), the SNI tricks their authorization into thinking I'm using WA, while I am connecting to

There may not be any "free messaging" or similar offers is my guess. In fact using ECH it is already possible to spoof the SNI but make a real TLS handshake to the underlying domain; you can try it on my test website[0] with wires

Yep; on my way to LHR I was intrigued by their "free messaging" and wanted to poke around, with the SNI hypothesis I did the actual HTTPS proxy setup on a VPS while in the UK, so I could actually try and proxy arbitrary browser tr

Interesting! I'd done something similar in Typescript to learn more about BT, and then redid it in rust to learn rust ( https://github.com/ckcr4lyf/kiryuu ). However I decided to just use redis as the DB. It sounds

I'm not sure how intensive the "backend" is, but I've found stuff like workers to be economically efficient only for hobby tier projects. I operate a BitTorrent tracker I wrote for fun, and it receives around ~1500req&#x

I'm pretty sure the default is they can see all the cleartext, since their product is based on TLS interception, for example to evaluate page rules. This is also how they insert extra headers in both the request and response.

I think it just leads to a false sense of security for most "normie" users. E.g. Snapchat, people think it must give a screenshot notification or whatever, so it is "safe" for nudes. Well it is quite trivial to save the

Funnily enough, India did something similar to that - they overnight made 500 & 1000 rupee bills (the two highest value denomination - approx ~8 & 16USD at the time) illegitimate. There were ways to convert those to the new bills, s
