VLESS Reality vs Shadowsocks AEAD vs Trojan-GFW vs Hysteria 2 vs NaiveProxy vs TUIC. Which protocol survives DPI in Russia, China, Iran in 2026, and why.
VLESS Reality forwards a real TLS certificate from a public site, so DPI sees ordinary HTTPS. How it works and how it compares to other protocols.
OpenVPN and WireGuard are easy to fingerprint. How the protocols that matter compare against state-level DPI in 2026, what research shows, and what nobody has measured.
DPI systems inspect your traffic payloads, not just headers. Here's how DPI works, which protocols it catches, and which ones survive.
WireGuard is fast and simple. VLESS Reality is invisible to censors. Both are good protocols for different situations. Here's when to use which.
What Xray-core is, how its protocols, transports and REALITY fit together, and how it compares with NaiveProxy. Sourced from Xray's docs and censorship research.
VLESS is a lightweight proxy protocol from the XRay ecosystem that delegates encryption to TLS, eliminating double-encryption overhead. Here's how it works and why it matters for VPN users in censored countries.
WireGuard is fast, but it's trivially detectable by DPI. VLESS with Reality makes your VPN traffic indistinguishable from visiting microsoft.com. Here's how it works and why it matters.
