    Yeah. As useful as it's been for circumventing censorship, it does mess with uninvolved third parties. It rather uses them like hostages :(

    Did Google stop domain fronting as a censorship move?

    OK, so maybe this form of domain fronting is dead meat.

    But can't one always setup a server somewhere that won't likely get blocked, and pull content from a blocked server through an encrypted channel? Or even through a Wireguard VPN, or whatever?
