Ok, I’ll ask the stupid question:

Why not use _Encrypted_ HTTP/2 traffic? The article goes on and on about HTTP 1.1 and unencrypted HTTP 2.0 but never once mentioned encrypted HTTP 2.0 which I would assume shares the exact same binary/“hard to block” characteristics of unencrypted HTTP 2.0.

I can only assume that everyone knows why that’s already blocked in China, but I don’t




Because China already uses TLS SNI sniffing anyways, and since that TLS is the outermost layer, it does not matter which HTTP version* is inside, it's already blocked anyways.

* For those who knows HTTP/3, the answer is port blocking.
