    Scenario #2 - You are using a bridge and trying to connect an allowed IP, but failing to handshake. Perhaps IP traffic is being snooped and dropped as its seen as "Tor traffic". Others can correct me, but I think obfs4 is still the best way to try and avoid this: https://github.com/Yawning/obfs4
  • Signal's TLS Proxy Failed to Be Probing Resistant
    2 projects | news.ycombinator.com | 4 Feb 2021
    While the authors of the most definitely didn't handle this well, I'd argue it's a pretty severe weakness and the tool shouldn't have been released in this state. Active probing has been observed in the wild [1] and pretty much all tooling in the space handles it in their threat model [2], so its naive to not consider it.

    I get why the signal team wanted something to use HTTPS, even networks with completely insane firewalls accept it and they get to reuse existing domain fronting code, but existing tools continues to viable in Iran and would have made much more sense in the circumstances.
