Incidentally and totally unrelated, but today I learned that Shadow TLS is a pretty neat project and works like a charm in... certain restricted situations :3
@snep Ah, the TLS SNI fake thing? I remember tunneling out of an airplane in a way stupider way (using iodine, a DNS request/response based tunnel. Basically only IRC works x3)
Nov 16, 2025, 7:48 AM@Doridian Yup, that's the one!
And yeah, I've been trying for about two and a half years now to tunnel out through Iodine whenever I'm on a flight and usually the packet delay and overly cachy local DNS servers have foiled any serious attempts. Packets went through, some ICMP and even the beginning of an SSH session, but never responsive or reliable enough to actually be usable. When Iodine works under better circumstances, though, it's an incredibly cool tunnel mechanism!
