However, the way TSPU — Russia’s traffic-filtering system — operates has changed. We observed that it now analyzes connection behavior as a whole and tracks the destination IP addresses of traffic it identifies as potentially VPN-related.\n\nThe new protocol disguises not only specific parts of data packets or markers, but the overall traffic profile throughout the entire connection.\n\nMore about the protocol in our blog: [AmneziaWG 3.1 Bypasses AI-Based Blocking](https://m-b75ce44e5ba5-3w5hsuiikq-ez.a.run.app/blog/amneziawg-3-1-is-here)", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/amnezia-open-source-self-hosted-vpn-with-advanced-dpi-obfuscation", "canonical_source": "https://discuss.privacyguides.net/t/amnezia-open-source-self-hosted-vpn-with-advanced-dpi-obfuscation/38044#post_13", "published_at": "2026-08-28 10:23:57+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-08-28 10:50:09.307750+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-policy"], "entities": ["Amnezia", "AmneziaWG v3", "TSPU"], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/amnezia-open-source-self-hosted-vpn-with-advanced-dpi-obfuscation", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/amnezia-open-source-self-hosted-vpn-with-advanced-dpi-obfuscation.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/amnezia-open-source-self-hosted-vpn-with-advanced-dpi-obfuscation.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/amnezia-open-source-self-hosted-vpn-with-advanced-dpi-obfuscation.jsonld"}}
