Bypassing DPI with eBPF, no VPN or proxy needed

eBPF kernel-level packet interception with TTL spoofing defeats DPI inspection without VPN or proxy infrastructure.

A developer created a tool using eBPF to bypass DPI (Deep Packet Inspection) without requiring a VPN or proxy. The technique sends fake TLS ClientHellos with low TTLs to desynchronize DPI systems, allowing legitimate traffic through while fake packets expire before reaching servers. Implementation uses kernel-level eBPF on Linux and TUN device interception on macOS.
