- Link to the protocol specification:
https://github.com/TrustTunnel/TrustTunnel/blob/master/PROTO...
It's a thin HTTP/2 and HTTP/3 tunneling protocol for TCP, UDP, and ICMP traffic.
It should be easy to write an independent implementation based on this specification provided you already have an HTTP/2 or HTTP/3 library. Pretty neat!

- Very cool! Thanks for supporting open source (unlike a half-hearted attempt, like ExpressVPN's Lightway). Quick question: the website animated gif has no arrows from the website to the VPN server. Am I missing something?
Update: just followed the quickstart and worked great; speed is virtually line speed - impressive!
- Hi, I’m one of the people working on this.
One clarification that may not be obvious: open-sourcing this isn’t primarily about signaling or auditability. If that were the goal, a standalone protocol spec or a minimal reference repo would have been enough.
Instead, we’re deliberately shipping full client and server implementations because the end goal is for this to become an independent, vendor-neutral project, not something tied to AdGuard.
We want it to be usable by any VPN or proxy stack and, over time, to serve as a common baseline for stealthy transports — similar to the role xray/vless play today.
Happy to answer questions or clarify design choices.

- I like and use your products, so, first of all, thank you!
that the protocol was not open was one of my main issues for not using the vpn service,?it is great to see. i look forward for the upcoming audits.
one thing i would like to see more is info about the company. the team, the offices, etc. there have been rumors and contradictory infos over the years, and the blog always have a “stock photo”, shady vibe. putting your address in google maps brings you to a shady alley… improving the image of the company (in my opinion) as it is now would do lots to create and improve trust.

- Does anyone know if this protocol uses QUIC's RFC 9221 extension in order to eliminate overhead when tunnelling UDP over QUIC? According to their blog post, TrustTunnel does somehow avoid that overhead, but the actual protocol specification doesn't mention anything of that sort.
- What makes this worth using over something like vless? Work blocked my gatcha game so I've had to set up a xray/vless/xhttp/tls proxy and it works flawlessly. Gets through the corp firewall unscathed at full bandwidth and no appreciable increase in latency.

- How does this compare to Obscura
- It’s great for you to open source the protocol and implementation, it written in rust which I will definitely consider to learn it add add to my vpn client in the future
- Super cool stuff! Excited to see what p2p between clients might look like, and how it compares on speed with Wireguard.

- So what are the reasons to use this over Wireguard?
- Does it support the mwss protocol?
- I'm surprised that the browser extension to block ads has a proprietary vpn-like protocol. WTF?

- It would be also nice if they could hold their implicit promise of having the AdGuard extension working on Safari iOS, it's broken for me even when I reinstal it. Anyone else have the same problem?
