trojan VS naiveproxy

A fellow Aussie currently in China, a Trojan [0] server has been working fine for the last week I've been here. I've got it hosted through a VPS (smaller provider) in LA. While it's a bit of a pain to setup, reliability has been rock solid and definitely useable - my laptop is connected 24/7 and I can access the unfiltered web, including video, just fine. V2ray also supposedly works quite well, but I haven't looked into it.

Normal VPNs that you can see ads all over the place like N*rdVPN won't work, period. The correct way is to rent a few servers from different providers, make sure their ips are not blocked, and build your own V2Ray or Trojan service first. The Chinese gov will not be able to distinguish your Trojan traffic from ordinary https traffic, so the only thing that's sus to them would be the fact that all your traffic goes to one foreign ip, but I've been doing it for a few years without officials knocking on my door so yeah I think it will work for you as well. I don't take responsibility tho, do your research.

(TrojanGFW)[https://github.com/trojan-gfw/trojan] and (V2Ray)[https://github.com/v2fly/v2ray-core]. But you need your own server to do it, and some few tweaks. For first-timer it might be quite confusing to configure, but you will understand how it works in the long run. You could also tunnel your connection to your server which then forward it to protonvpn (which what I'm doing rn).

v2ray or Trojan

What language is "Electron" written in and how many lines of it are used. Even more, what languages are Chromium brower engine and Node.js written in and how many lines of it are used.

When we make assumptions, e.g., no need to initialise hardware, no need for bootcode, no need for bootloader, no need for drivers, no need for kernel, no need for operating system, and so on, then, IMHO, the comparisons do not make as much sense.

Perhaps it is not "how you use them" but "what they can actually do". To me, getting a computer to boot is still an essential task. Building things "from the ground up" is still, to me, the path with fewer limitations and boundaries. As I understand it, building things from the ground up is how the creator of UNIX preferred to work.

To be honest, IMO, it's really about "what you are trying to do". And the assumption in comments like these is that one is trying to do the exact same thing in (less than or equal to 500 lines of) language X, Y or Z. But what if one wants to do somehting different that no one has done before.

When I was a kid, I faintly remember Lego sets that sometimes had pre-constructed "add-ons" with moving parts. These attachments might have even been motorised. Although such attachments might have had a Lego logo with a trademark symbol on them, making them appear to be part of a set, they did not really belong with the plastic building blocks. They were obviously not meant to be pulled apart and rebuilt.

The pre-compiled "browser", a single large binary that does "everything its user could ever want to do" as determined by someone else, not the user, controlled and distributed by an advertising services company, is it a building block or one of those motorised add-ons. How many "developers" pull the browser apart and rebuild it.^1 It seems the advertising company is expecting most will not do that.

1. One exception, which uses only the networking code, is https://github.com/klzgrad/naiveproxy/

The "modern browser" is what could be many programs. Instead, these are all rolled into one.

Your best bet would be naiveproxy. WG does not design with obfuscation in mind. Or you could use shadowsocks with v2ray instead.

If it still fails, try Outline VPN which Shadowsocks protocol made some attempt to evade detection. If you're only using browsers, https://github.com/klzgrad/naiveproxy can masquerade common traffic assuming your school doesn't use whitelist.
