Hi Q,
MASQUE was designed as a censorship prevention tool. That's not mentioned
in the specs themselves, but the design was focused on enabling as much
obfuscation as possible. Additionally, existing two-hop MASQUE systems like
Apple's iCloud Private Relay and Google's IP Protection were inspired

Many moons ago, Mike spent considerable time evaluating this. You can see a

Hi, Q!
I think migrating to QUIC over time might help a lot, particularly in
relay-to-relay communications where we have a large number of circuits
to multiplex.
## Design points

- I don't understand why SNI is being be discussed here, ESNI/ECH wouldn't
bring much to Tor, there are better ways than looking at the client hello to
detect a Tor relay, starting by its IP being public.
Hey, looks like you misunderstood me, I was not talking about relay detection,
but mal
I think QUIC could be an improvement, though I'm worried adding QUIC
wouldn't remove the need for Tor over TLS, which might add more maintenance
burden.
Even with QUIC, we will need to support TLS for some time so as to not
partition the network. Also, it used to be that UDP was 2nd class citizen
- What are people's thoughts on this?
To be honest, I don't really care about UDP support.
Adding UDP support also would presumably add a lot of torrent load to the
network, and yes I know that torrent clients can fall back to TCP and this is
already an issue.
Regarding TLS, it's still some
Hi all,
I know the discussion on how best to support UDP applications over Tor has
dragged on for a long time, so I thought what better to do than to throw
another item to bikeshed into the discussion :)
On a more serious note I think running Tor over QUIC would provide several
advantages - both f
