zapret VS sslh

You can read about it here: https://github.com/bol-van/zapret/blob/master/docs/readme.eng.md

Has anyone managed to bypass DPI on their iOS devices locally (without connecting to overseas VPN)? It seems like almost every other popular OS has had a publicly released method (Windows, MacOS (and Linux), lots of others for Linux, even Android), and only the iOS community seem to have no interest, or at least public interest, in local DPI bypassing. Achieving local bypassing would allow for access to all the ISP-blocked websites, without the speed penalty that comes with a foreign VPN host.

linux noob here, I have tried installing zepret but it doesnt seem to work. Any help regarding its installation will be appreciated. changing my DNS from openDNS to nextDNS helps me access the websites i want. but websites like youtube become a lot slower when loading videos.

There is a similar project that supports Linux, but its much more focused on Russian censorship.

Are you looking for Zapret: https://github.com/bol-van/zapret https://www.reddit.com/r/pihole/comments/a6zks7/pairing_a_pihole_with_goodbyedpizapret/

Most browsers now a days support DNS over HTTPS to encrypt the SNI /Client Hello(Server Name Indication). And then there are tools like this one to circumvent DPI. I wanted to know the difference between the two. Won't Encrypting the client Hello/SNI suffice to bypass the such censorship?

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

That already has a (brutal) solution now - sslh https://www.rutschle.net/tech/sslh/README.html - the current version is more sophisticated, but it was originally just a perl script that would send the connection to sshd or the https web server, based on regex matching on an initial string (and I probably timing out and going to sshd if it didn't see one? Something like that, I haven't dug out the old code to check.)

Maybe something like https://github.com/yrutschle/sslh would work? Although it will probably break mobile client as well.

I think you're looking for sslh.

However, there is a hacky tool that should fit your use case, you could try that: https://www.rutschle.net/tech/sslh/README.html

I haven’t tried it but have a look here. TBH I didn’t even know sslh supported UDP!
