TCP (encrypted)
Shadowsocks
A stream encrypted from the first byte (Shadowsocks 2022), with no visible handshake. Every byte on the wire is random-looking; there is no protocol to recognise.
Where it does well
Light and fast where nothing inspects traffic.
Where it struggles
“Looks like nothing” is itself a pattern: detectors that flag fully random traffic catch it, and some networks block it on sight.

By server location
Where the server was. A location that fails from every network points at the server, not at censorship.
