Glad you came down this rabbit hole too 😆
Strong obfuscation is key for IP privacy protocols. It also helps that QUIC is UDP, so we avoid the TCP-over-TCP problem: https://blog.carldong.me/2023/05/03/why-do-vpns.html
“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.
