  • serverless-dns

    The RethinkDNS resolver that deploys to Cloudflare Workers, Deno Deploy, Fastly, and Fly.io

    Yikes. Why do you say so? We're barely getting started. All of the code is open source and I hope whoever wants to run a poor man's pihole-as-a-service finds some utility in it or builds missing pieces of utility on top of it.

    Forum for discussing Internet censorship circumvention

    China just blocks ESNI entirely, possibly Iran too, and I'd assume once ECH becomes popular they'd do just that. The paper points out it's trivial to defeat the blocking, but there needs to be at least a client or server-side modification, which is kinda out of scope for your app & service. Would Cloudflare join the cat & mouse game? Probably not, considering in China they choose to cooperate with the local entity.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

    automated censorship evasion for the client-side and server-side

  • rethink-app

    DNS over HTTPS / DNS over Tor / DNSCrypt client, WireGuard proxifier, firewall, and connection tracker for Android.

    Most of the techniques published Geneva are do-able on the app (see: https://github.com/celzero/rethink-app/issues/1). But sure, it also gets expensive (and dangerous even) to circumvent many other forms of censorship, especially when the State and the telecomm industry (which actually own the pipes / infrastructure) are in bed with each other like they have been for centuries.
