  • Wireguard completely banned in Iran

    Not in Iran, and the following would be trivial to detect, but this xtables module may be of use. It runs entirely in-kernel, so if it works, it shouldn't cause much of a performance hit. Only try this if your only goal is bypassing censorship; it won't do a very good job at hiding the fact that you're using a VPN to a human observer.

    obfuscate udp packet by XOR https://github.com/faicker/ipt_xor Being an iptables module, this one is very fast compare to udp2raw. The con is it doesn’t change the packet length, besides WG packet has a lots of zeros so the key used for XOR is easy to recognize. However, the ISP most likely use some kind of hardware implementation to detect fixed patterns. So this simple XOR may be enough for evading detection.
