Please declare if your blog post is written with AI, don’t launder AI words as your own, you just make yourself look like a fraud. We can tell.

I read about Russian VPN situation from time to time, and any simple obfuscation attempts fail now. They had to invent more protocols, like TrustTunnel. Previous popular protocol was VLESS, and it used TCP.

TrustTunnel uses QUIC and possibly UDP, looks like similar to what is described in the article. So, I guess, Mullvad might work in DPI-heavy environments, but I wouldn't be as sure as author is. All I know it is becomes harder and harder to obfuscate VPN traffic in the countries with good hackers who work for the government.

VLESS is masquerading as a HTTPS website. QUIC will not work as UDP abroad is mostly blocked. UDP is mostly used for VPN and encrypted calls so no law abiding citizen needs UDP anyway.

Chinese people have been developing similar obfuscation protocols and playing a cat-and-mouse game for years, and most of them are "open source" (in quotes because lots of them have to be somewhat hidden because the Chinese gov threatens the devs).

Props to Mullvad, but it's not like they're unique in this regard.

Last time I checked, they don't really care about vpns there. They just filter internet traffic to A) encourage home grown alternatives to e.g. Google, Facebook and B) Stop Grandma from reading Radio Free Asia

Why would China use HTTP/3?

Yep, agree, it does work and with multi hop also allows your own country of origin only when it’s through Sweden also.

Eh they'll adapt. Simply using QUIC won't be enough. The cadence of VPN traffic can and will be detected. It might take them a while to catch up that's all.

Best thing is to just not go to China, and if you do need to, to use your mobile internet or work VPN.

Clickbait and aggressive title, shallow article. I read it and not worth clicking.
