ECH: The Future of SNI Privacy

For years, even encrypted HTTPS connections leaked the name of the website you were visiting through the "SNI" field. Encrypted Client Hello (ECH) fixes this.

Closing the Gap

ECH encrypts the entire handshake from the very first packet. This means an ISP can see that you are connecting to a server, but has no idea if it's a social network, a news site, or a private bank.

VPN Synergy

As ECH becomes the standard in 2026, it will make VPN obfuscation even more effective, as "protocol fingerprints" will be the only way left for firewalls to identify traffic.
