## What it is
NaïveProxy is a censorship-resistant proxy that uses Chromium's network stack to make proxy traffic indistinguishable from regular Chrome browser traffic. It pairs a client application with a forward-proxy server (typically Caddy with the forwardproxy plugin) hidden behind a common frontend to defeat active probing and traffic analysis.

## Use cases
- bypass internet censorship
- hide proxy traffic from DPI
- circumvent TLS fingerprinting detection
- set up an undetectable personal proxy server
- defeat active probing of proxy servers
- route traffic through a proxy that looks like Chrome

## When to choose
- you need strong censorship resistance with low detectability
- you want proxy traffic indistinguishable from real Chrome traffic
- you can operate your own server behind a reverse proxy like Caddy

## When to avoid
- you need a no-server-setup solution
- you require anonymity from the proxy operator rather than censorship circumvention
- you need Tor-style multi-hop anonymity
