New Hidden Proxy Protocols | HydraVeil 2.9.0
Hide that you're even using a VPN.
SSL vs Wireguard
Regular SSL
When you connect to a regular website, your home ISP can see WHAT website you go to, but not what you DO on the website (what data is literally sent) because of SSL encryption.
Wireguard
On the other hand, when you use Wireguard, your home ISP can’t see what website you go to. But they can tell you’re using a VPN, because Wireguard gives off a very unique pattern.
New proxies
What if you could get protection with encryption (like Wireguard), but appear to doing regular SSL traffic to your home ISP? This is what the new proxy protocols (vless and hysteria2) are doing under the hood. These are now available for systemwide on Hydraveil version 2.9.0. And they are excellent for getting past firewalls that would normally restrict Wireguard traffic.
Some distros
Keep in mind, this new feature should be treated as experimental, and may not yet work on all linux distros and isn’t yet supported for all our locations. At the time of this writing, supported locations include Netherlands, Seattle, Moldova, UK, Iceland, and Singapore. If you have a subscription for Wireguard at any of those locations, you can now switch for free, between the protocols.
Other New Features
Edit Profile
This release also sees additional new features of an overhaul of edit profile. Now it respawns your ticket if you change locations. This is super useful for if a given location is down, and you have tickets setup, you can effortlessly respawn to a new identity at a new location (as though it was a fresh subscription).
Billing Overhaul
Additionally, billing got a dramatic face-lift, and you can now background check and toggle between different simultaneous billing sessions. This reduces the friction involved in multiple profiles without tickets.
