geneva VS DPITunnel

I think cryptography is a decentralizing force in general, though its intersection with ML is small, Also, related things, steganography, differential privacy, federated learning, all things that tend to decentralize. Anonymizing text fingerprint with LLMs, ML-ish censor evading algo , possibility of a decentralized vector database

China just blocks ESNI entirely, possibly Iran too, and I'd assume once ECH becomes popular they'd do just that. The paper points out it's trivial to defeat the blocking, but there needs to be at least a client or server-side modification, which is kinda out of scope for your app & service. Would Cloudflare join the cat & mouse game? Probably not, considering in China they choose to cooperate with the local entity.

> The fact that Western countries aren't spending billions to comprehensively subvert the Great Firewall is a significant strategic failure.

I have strong opinions in this matter.

The GFW is only possible because of metadata leaks that Western countries are exploiting too, for security and surveillance, or whatever.

Suppose Western countries start investing billions in subverting the great firewall, our own infrastructure and economy would suffer too.

I'll give you an example, I tried to train https://github.com/Kkevsterrr/geneva against a CheckPoint and a Fortinet ... It's not been fun for those "next gen firewalls", and CheckPoint is a NASDAQ-100, Fortinet an S&P 500.

You don't need a paid VPN. goodbyedpi, zapret and DPITunnel will unblock almost everything blocked by the government (porn and piracy).
