ChatGPT led me to tunsafe however the project seems to be abandoned?

I'm trying to find ways to convert wireguard traffic into plain HTTPS so as to not trigger some advanced DPI. So far, I have come across udp2raw and updtunnel which convert the traffic to TCP, but AFAIK the SSL used in Wireguard triggers DPIs.

Does anyone have a workaround? Thanks!


Everyone, there seems to be a way go achieve this:

Wireguard (change port to 443) + udp2raw or udptunnel to convert packets to TCP + stunnel (configured on both client and server - used by OpenVPN to encapsulate traffic in TLS).

This is basically what OpenVPN does, and theoretically this should do OK. I haven't tested it however, so if you have, please let us know!

OpenVPN? You can literally set it to run on port 443 tcp

I agree. It sounds like this Rube Goldberg contraption would basically sacrifice all advantages of WireGuard.

At that point you might as well fall back to OpenVPN and at least get the reliability of a proven mature solution.
