Hello!
For the context: You might know, that recently in Russia the federal network service (Roskomnadzor) started utilizing “white lists” for mobile internet (meaning - you can access only “allowed” IP addresses), so now almost everywhere in the country you have to use VPN with a specific protocol and configured in a special way just to brake free from these white lists. And now they are trying to deploy a literal spyware inside of the local Russian apps (banking, maps, search, messenger, marketplace, etc.). Some of these services can be used in a web browser, but some cannot.
Anyway, right now it is known for sure, that the governmental messenger app called “Max”, that came to replace Telegram in Russia, detects the fact of using VPN on a device and sends the data to the federal security service. This data contains almost everything about the connection, which is a disaster. I will not put out the whole list of consequences here, I hope you’ve got the idea. And it seems, that even putting those apps in “private” zone (with Shelter, for example) wouldn’t help the situation.
So the feature I want to propose is some way of hiding the fact of using VPN, if it’s even possible. Nobody’s saying anything on the topic on the Internet, so just to get started, I’d like to at least discuss the possibility.
Thanks in advance!
P.S.: Sorry if my English is weird in any way.
