# therealaleph/MasterHttpRelayVPN-RUST

Rust port of @masterking32's MasterHttpRelayVPN — all credit to @masterking32 for the original idea and Python implementation. Free DPI bypass via a Google Apps Script relay with TLS SNI concealment. CLI + cross-platform desktop UI, HTTP + SOCKS5 proxy, no runtime deps.

## What it is
A Rust port of MasterHttpRelayVPN that bypasses censorship and DPI/SNI blocking by tunneling traffic through a free Google Apps Script relay via domain fronting. It runs as a local HTTP and SOCKS5 proxy with a CLI and cross-platform egui desktop UI, and requires no runtime dependencies.

## Use cases
- bypass DPI and SNI-based website blocking
- access blocked websites for free using a Google account
- route browser traffic through a Google Apps Script relay
- run a local HTTP or SOCKS5 proxy for censorship circumvention
- hide visited domains from the ISP
- use a lightweight single-binary proxy on Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, or OpenWRT

## When to choose
- you need a free censorship bypass tool with no paid VPN subscription
- you want a single small binary with no runtime dependencies
- you want your ISP to only see encrypted traffic to google.com
- you need HTTP and SOCKS5 proxy support for any browser or app
- you want a GUI plus CLI on multiple platforms including routers

## When to avoid
- you need full system-wide VPN tunneling rather than proxy-based routing
- you cannot or do not want to use a personal Google account for the relay
- you need guaranteed anonymity or strong privacy from Google, since Google sees the relayed traffic
- your network blocks Google services entirely
- you need high-throughput or low-latency performance for streaming or gaming at scale
