ChatGPT "thinks" it's benign. I asked "What protocol is trojan in trojan://someUserId@123.23.23.3/..." and got:

The URL scheme "trojan://" is not a standard protocol like HTTP or FTP. It is commonly associated with Trojan proxies, which are a type of network proxy that allows users to bypass internet censorship and access blocked websites.

In the context of "trojan://someUserId@123.23.23.3/...", it appears to be a representation of a Trojan proxy configuration. Here's a breakdown of the components:

"trojan://" indicates the URL scheme associated with Trojan proxies.

"someUserId" represents a placeholder for the user ID or username.

"123.23.23.3" is an example IP address, which could be the address of the server hosting the Trojan proxy.

"/..." denotes that there may be additional path or query parameters following it, but without specific information, it's challenging to determine their purpose.

It's important to note that the term "trojan" is often used to refer to malicious software, specifically Trojan horses, which are a type of malware that disguises itself as legitimate software. However, in the context of the URL scheme "trojan://," it typically refers to the usage of Trojan proxies rather than malicious software.

There's this account nostr:npub1rca2jat8xmuw40t7x7uc2qplaqyu0hc7l2thn5xwfx4pmqpjfa0s29xv4p that posts a lot of these. All of them are basically links to proxies with their prefered protocol (vmess, trojan, ...) that you could decode into a settings object for the respective program.

I don't know why they're being posted, but I assume they are some sort of public proxy one can use. Not something I would trust, but in a chain of hops, it might be useful...?
