About NaiveProxy
NaiveProxy tunnels traffic through a proxy that is hard to tell apart from ordinary web browsing. It reuses Chrome's own network stack, so its TLS parameters match a real browser and TLS fingerprinting fails. It multiplexes streams over HTTP/2 and copies ordinary connection preambles to make website fingerprinting and traffic classification harder.
It is aimed at people facing strict censorship who can run their own server. The repository also contains an Android package.
