HTTP

HTTP is a basic web protocol. It sends requests and responses as plain text.

HTTPS is HTTP with encryption. It protects data between the browser and the server.

CONNECT is a special HTTP method. It asks a proxy to open a tunnel to a server.

A proxy sits between a client and a server. It can allow, block, or forward traffic.

An upstream proxy is another proxy in front of this one. Traffic can be sent to it instead of the server.

Segmentation means splitting data into small chunks. This project can send chunks with fixed or random sizes.

DPI means deep packet inspection. It is a network system that inspects traffic patterns. It can still detect many simple tricks.
