Which Linux distro were you using?

What feature or aspect made the experience stand out?

Did it change the way you use Linux or tech in general?

Looking forward to your responses!

so impressive, i wish i understood everything you did! how would xtls xray make the IP not seem like a VPN? What do you mean upgraded from http 2 to QUIC through nginx? How did you use tproxy with iptables rules? This is really cool stuff and I wish I understood more about it. Did you study computer science formally or just learn this on your own?

Well, it can route from the server to cloudflare IPs, but that's a server-side feature. The real improvement is that it looks like a website when you connect to it instead of looking like a VPN because it emulates HTTP

QUIC is http3, using UDP to get slightly better performance. Unfortunately, if you use it too much, your IP gets blocked in China. So I hide the fact I'm using UDP by rewriting the packets to look like TCP

The tproxy rules are here:
