Давайте по порядку: что сломалось, почему достаётся именно репозиториям, что это за «ГосVPN» такой, почему... Read more

Полгода назад я написал здесь разбор «почему VLESS работает» — он собрал 169 тысяч просмотров и под тысячу закладок.

Прошло полгода — и оказалось, что я был прав ровно наполовину.В феврале ТСПУ перешёл на поведенческий анализ, а в июне — на то, что в чатах называют «заморозкой по fingerprint». И тут... Read more
