    From the article:

    > Ubiquitous presence of HTTPS allows you to pass your data through very restrictive middle boxes!

    This is, in fact, why all — or nearly all — proprietary VPN protocols (so-called "SSL VPNs") implement a mode that initiates a tunnel via HTTPS, at least as a fallback if not as the primary mode of operation: precisely in order to have a mode of operation that works with almost any connection to the global Internet.

    I'm one of the main developers of https://gitlab.com/openconnect/openconnect, which implements many such protocols, and wrote https://github.com/dlenski/what-vpn, which sniffs or identifies even more flavors of TLS-based VPN servers.
