Server-Sent Events: the alternative to WebSockets you should be using
My personal WebSockets vs SSE TL;DR goes something like this:
* If you're on HTTP/2, start with SSE
* If you need to send binary data, use WebSockets
* If you need fast bidi streaming, use WebSockets
* If you need backpressure and multiplexing for WebSockets, use RSocket or omnistreams[1] (one of my projects).

The WebSocket Handbook
I built omnistreams[0] primarily because of the lack of backpressure in browser WebSockets (lots of background information in that README). It's what fibridge[1] is built on. We've been using it in production for over 2 years, but I never ended up trying to push omnistreams as a thing. I believe the Rust implementation is actually behind the spec a bit, and the spec itself probably needs some work.
At the end of the day I think RSocket is probably the way to go for most people, though the simplicity of omnistreams is still appealing to me.

Russia has started indiscriminately blocking all OpenVPN/WireGuard connections
Shameless plug, there is also wstunnel (i am its author) https://github.com/erebe/wstunnel/, hope you enjoy.

Russia starts blocking VPN at the protocol (WireGuard, OpenVPN) level
While working in an environment where VPN connections were pretty much all blocked⁰ a friend of mine had success using https://guacamole.apache.org/ to access a remote machine¹. Not quite the same as a direct VPN connection but worth a try if nothing else functions, it looks enough like normal HTTPS traffic that he got away with it.
To keep your wireguard setup more as-is, you could try https://kirill888.github.io/notes/wireguard-via-websocket/ to tunnel that via a web server. In fact https://github.com/erebe/wstunnel which that uses could be used just as well with any other UDP based VPN.
I once tinkered with https://github.com/yarrick/iodine and successfully connected to resources over the wireless on a train, bypassing its traffic capture and sign-up requirement, so that might be an option, though I think fully blocking external DNS is more common now so this is less likely to work²³.

[0] practically only HTTP(S) permitted, not even SSH, DPI in use that detected just using SSH or OpenVPN over port 443
[1] NOTE: be careful breaching restrictions like this, you are at risk of an insta-sacking if discovered, or worse if operating in some securiry environments!
[2] and the latency when it does work is significant!
[3] and that much traffic over port 53 might get noticed by the heuristics of data exfiltration scanner, encouraging sysadmins to notice and implement a way to block it

Wireguard over Websockets over Cloudfare Tunnel
There are projects out there (like this) which run wireguard traffic through websocket.
What are some alternatives?
editor - Collaborative text editor using operational transformations
docker-wireguard
overture - Overture is a powerful JS library for building really slick web applications, with performance at, or surpassing, native apps.
udptunnel - It allows TCP/UDP/ICMP traffic over UDP tunneling. It's useful to avoid Internet restrictions.
stable-socket - A web socket that reconnects.
udp2raw - A Tunnel which Turns UDP Traffic into Encrypted UDP/FakeTCP/ICMP Traffic by using Raw Socket,helps you Bypass UDP FireWalls(or Unstable UDP Environment)
dom-examples - Code examples that accompany various MDN DOM and Web API documentation pages
shadowsocks-rust - A Rust port of shadowsocks
Cloak - A censorship circumvention tool to evade detection by authoritarian state adversaries
outline-apps - Outline Client and Manager, developed by Jigsaw. Outline Manager makes it easy to create your own VPN server. Outline Client lets you share access to your VPN with anyone in your network, giving them access to the free and open internet.
