Description

@ValdikSS

Seems like Cloudflare has gradually started to enable Encrypted ClientHello support. You can see it on rutracker.org and bo0om.ru for example.

ECH was instroduced on Cloudflare several years ago but has been disabled after very short test period. I could not find any announcement except for in CF documentation:

Caution

ECH is disabled globally, and cannot currently be enabled in the Cloudflare Dashboard.

Starting in August, 2024, ECH will be gradually released on free zones. It will not be possible to disable it. A toggle will be added to the Cloudflare Dashboard at a later point before ECH is made available for other zone plans.

Rutracker now opens in Firefox 130 in Russia without any circumvention methods. Apparently Firefox 130 does not require DNS-over-HTTPS for ECH to work.

Cloudflare uses a single ECH key & configuration for all the domains
