Amnezia: Open-source self-hosted VPN with advanced DPI obfuscation

Thank you for your comment and questions! We have great respect for all protocol developers, including VLESS REALITY (XRay), OpenVPN over Cloak and Shadowsocks, as well as OpenVPN, WireGuard, IKEv2 and many others. Amnezia supports VLESS and some other protocols, and we’re glad that other VPN providers adopt our open-source protocol. We believe that our main contribution is observing how DPI systems work now and understanding why previous protocols were blocked. Based on these observations, we developed a unique set of tools designed to prevent blocking. You’re right, blocking has become more aggressive, but authorities can’t block all UDP traffic. That’s why it’s important to constantly monitor the situation and update obfuscation methods. As for blocking VPN IP ranges – unfortunately, it is a real problem for VPN providers. Self-hosted VPNs can be a solution, as users can choose hosting providers, whose servers haven’t been blocked yet. Plus, it’s harder to block them, because their servers can be used not only for VPN, but for “legitimate” business as well. I attached some links in my comment above – about our work in Russia and Iran.
