“Network relays are built on the modern and standardized MASQUE protocols and can be used to proxy all TCP and UDP traffic”
Holy shit! It’s not just web requests. This is way better than your standard VPN. It also obfuscates traffic through http so it’s harder to tell that you’re even using it. TIL nostr:npub1dd9znw7585wsam4d8p84ztdmtywwjsrayld6fzk4fvqdn5hpju4st5xe7p also uses this. This is the way we can make nostr network traffic private without requiring people to run VPNs.

Apple controls both the OS and the proxy. They can access the decryption key whenever they want. In a perfect world the OS would be open source and verifiable.
There’s no competitive reason to keep the OS closed source. Keeping it closed just ensures that state hackers have more attack vectors.
Probably just worried about public researchers seeing the number of bugs in it.
There are two proxies, they don’t control the exit node
