 # Telemt - MTProxy on Rust + Tokio
 
+***Löst Probleme, bevor andere überhaupt wissen, dass sie existieren*** / ***It solves problems before others even realize they exist***
+
 **Telemt** is a fast, secure, and feature-rich server written in Rust: it fully implements the official Telegram proxy algo and adds many production-ready improvements such as connection pooling, replay protection, detailed statistics, masking from "prying" eyes

+#   TELEMT — Advanced Rust-based Telegram MTProto Proxy
+#   Full Configuration Reference
+#
+#   This file is both a working config and a complete documentation.
+#   Every parameter is explained. Read it top to bottom before deploying.
+#
+#   Quick Start:
+#     1. Set [server].port to your desired port (443 recommended)
+#     2. Generate a secret: openssl rand -hex 16
+#     3. Put it in [access.users] under a name you choose
+#     4. Set [censorship].tls_domain to a popular unblocked HTTPS site
+#     5. Set your public IP in [general].middle_proxy_nat_ip
+#        and [general.links].public_host
+#     6. Set announce IP in [[server.listeners]]
+#     7. Run Telemt. It prints a tg:// link. Send it to your users.
+#
+#   Modes of Operation:
+#     Direct Mode  (use_middle_proxy = false)
+#       Connects straight to Telegram DCs via TCP. Simple, fast, low overhead.
+#       No ad_tag support. No CDN DC support (203, etc).
+#
+#     Middle-Proxy Mode  (use_middle_proxy = true)
+#       Connects to Telegram Middle-End servers via RPC protocol.
+#       Required for ad_tag monetization and CDN support.
+#       Requires proxy_secret_path and a valid public IP.

+# Telemt Control API
+
+## Purpose
+Control-plane HTTP API for runtime visibility and user/config management.
+Data-plane MTProto traffic is out of scope.
+
+## Runtime Configuration
+API runtime is configured in `[server.api]`.
+
+| Field | Type | Default | Description |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `enabled` | `bool` | `false` | Enables REST API listener. |
+| `listen` | `string` (`IP:PORT`) | `127.0.0.1:9091` | API bind address. |
+| `whitelist` | `CIDR[]` | `127.0.0.1/32, ::1/128` | Source IP allowlist. Empty list means allow all. |
+| `auth_header` | `string` | `""` | Exact value for `Authorization` header. Empty disables header auth. |
+| `request_body_limit_bytes` | `usize` | `65536` | Maximum request body size. |

+## Как настроить канал "спонсор прокси"
+
+1. Зайти в бота @MTProxybot.
+2. Ввести команду `/newproxy`
+3. Отправить IP и порт сервера. Например: 1.2.3.4:443
+4. Открыть конфиг `nano /etc/telemt.toml`.
+5. Скопировать и отправить боту секрет пользователя из раздела [access.users].
+6. Скопировать полученный tag у бота. Например 1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef.
+> [!WARNING]
+> Ссылка, которую выдает бот, не будет работать. Не копируйте и не используйте её!
+7. Раскомментировать параметр ad_tag и вписать tag, полученный у бота.
+8. Раскомментировать/добавить параметр use_middle_proxy = true.
+
+Пример конфига:
+```toml
+[general]
+ad_tag = "1234567890abcdef1234567890abcdef"
+use_middle_proxy = true
+```
+9.  Сохранить конфиг. Ctrl+S -> Ctrl+X.
+10. Перезапустить telemt `systemctl restart telemt`.
+11. В боте отправить команду /myproxies и выбрать добавленный сервер.
+12. Нажать кнопку "Set promotion".
+13. Отправить **публичную ссылку** на канал. Приватный канал добавить нельзя!
+14. Подождать примерно 1 час, пока информация обновится на серверах Telegram.
+> [!WARNING]
+> У вас не будет отображаться "спонсор прокси" если вы уже подписаны на канал.
+
+## Сколько человек может пользоваться 1 ссылкой
+
+По умолчанию 1 ссылкой может пользоваться сколько угодно человек.  
+Вы можете ограничить число IP, использующих прокси.
+```toml
+[access.user_max_unique_ips]
+hello = 1
+```
+Этот параметр ограничивает, сколько уникальных IP может использовать 1 ссылку одновременно. Если один пользователь отключится, второй сможет подключиться. Также с одного IP может сидеть несколько пользователей.
+
+## Как сделать несколько разных ссылок
+
+1. Сгенерируйте нужное число секретов `openssl rand -hex 16`
+2. Открыть конфиг `nano /etc/telemt.toml`
+3. Добавить новых пользователей.
+```toml
+[access.users]
+user1 = "00000000000000000000000000000001"
+user2 = "00000000000000000000000000000002"
+user3 = "00000000000000000000000000000003"
+```
+4. Сохранить конфиг. Ctrl+S -> Ctrl+X. Перезапускать telemt не нужно.
+5. Получить ссылки через `journalctl -u telemt -n -g "links" --no-pager -o cat | tac`
+
+## Как посмотреть метрики
+
+1. Открыть конфиг `nano /etc/telemt.toml`
+2. Добавить следующие параметры
+```toml
+[server]
+metrics_port = 9090
+metrics_whitelist = ["127.0.0.1/32", "::1/128", "0.0.0.0/0"]
+```
+3. Сохранить конфиг. Ctrl+S -> Ctrl+X.
+4. Метрики доступны по адресу SERVER_IP:9090/metrics. 
+> [!WARNING]
+> "0.0.0.0/0" в metrics_whitelist открывает доступ с любого IP. Замените на свой ip. Например "1.2.3.4"

+## KDF-Adressierung — Implementierungs-FAQ
+
+### Benötigt die C-Referenzimplementierung sowohl externe IP-Adresse als auch Port für die KDF?
+
+Ja.
+
+In der C-Referenzimplementierung werden **sowohl IP-Adresse als auch Port in die KDF einbezogen** — auf beiden Seiten der Verbindung.
+
+In `aes_create_keys()` enthält der KDF-Input:
+
+- `server_ip + client_port`
+- `client_ip + server_port`
+- sowie Secret / Nonces
+
+Für IPv6:
+
+- IPv4-Felder werden auf 0 gesetzt
+- IPv6-Adressen werden ergänzt
+
+Die **Ports bleiben weiterhin Bestandteil der KDF**.
+
+> Wenn sich externe IP oder Port (z. B. durch NAT, SOCKS oder Proxy) von den erwarteten Werten unterscheiden, entstehen unterschiedliche Schlüssel — der Handshake schlägt fehl.
+
+---
+
+### Kann der Port aus der KDF ausgeschlossen werden (z. B. durch Port = 0)?
+
+**Nein!**
+
+Die C-Referenzimplementierung enthält **keine Möglichkeit, den Port zu ignorieren**:
+- `client_port` und `server_port` sind fester Bestandteil der KDF
+- Es werden immer reale Socket-Ports übergeben:
+  - `c->our_port`
+  - `c->remote_port`
+
+Falls ein Port den Wert `0` hat, wird er dennoch als `0` in die KDF übernommen.
+
+Eine „Port-Ignore“-Logik existiert nicht.

+
+## KDF Addressing — Implementation FAQ
+
+### Does the C-implementation require both external IP address and port for the KDF?
+
+**Yes!**
+
+In the C reference implementation, **both IP address and port are included in the KDF input** from both sides of the connection.
+
+Inside `aes_create_keys()`, the KDF input explicitly contains:
+
+- `server_ip + client_port`
+- `client_ip + server_port`
+- followed by shared secret / nonces
+
+For IPv6:
+
+- IPv4 fields are zeroed
+- IPv6 addresses are inserted
+
+However, **client_port and server_port remain part of the KDF regardless of IP version**.
+
+> If externally observed IP or port (e.g. due to NAT, SOCKS, or proxy traversal) differs from what the peer expects, the derived keys will not match and the handshake will fail.
+
+---
+
+### Can port be excluded from KDF (e.g. by using port = 0)?
+
+**No!**
+
+The C-implementation provides **no mechanism to ignore the port**:
+
+- `client_port` and `server_port` are explicitly included in the KDF input
+- Real socket ports are always passed:
+  - `c->our_port`
+  - `c->remote_port`
+
+If a port is `0`, it is still incorporated into the KDF as `0`.
+
+There is **no conditional logic to exclude ports**

+## KDF Addressing — FAQ по реализации
+
+### Требует ли C-референсная реализация KDF внешний IP и порт?
+
+**Да**
+
+В C-референсе **в KDF участвуют и IP-адрес, и порт** — с обеих сторон соединения.
+
+В `aes_create_keys()` в строку KDF входят:
+
+- `server_ip + client_port`
+- `client_ip + server_port`
+- далее secret / nonces
+
+Для IPv6:
+
+- IPv4-поля заполняются нулями
+- добавляются IPv6-адреса
+
+Однако **порты client_port и server_port всё равно участвуют в KDF**.
+
+> Если внешний IP или порт (например, из-за NAT, SOCKS или прокси) не совпадает с ожидаемым другой стороной — ключи расходятся и handshake ломается.
+
+---
+
+### Можно ли исключить порт из KDF (например, установив порт = 0)?
+
+**Нет.**
+
+В C-референсе **нет механики отключения порта**.
+
+- `client_port` и `server_port` явно включены в KDF
+- Передаются реальные порты сокета:
+  - `c->our_port`
+  - `c->remote_port`
+
+Если порт равен `0`, он всё равно попадёт в KDF как `0`.
+
+Отдельной логики «игнорировать порт» не предусмотрено.

+# Telemt через Docker Compose
+
+**1. Отредактируйте `config.toml` в корневом каталоге репозитория (как минимум: порт, пользовательские секреты, tls_domain)**  
+**2. Запустите контейнер:**
+```bash
+docker compose up -d --build
+```
+**3. Проверьте логи:**
+```bash
+docker compose logs -f telemt
+```
+**4. Остановите контейнер:**
+```bash
+docker compose down
+```
+> [!NOTE]
+> - В `docker-compose.yml` файл `./config.toml` монтируется в `/app/config.toml` (доступно только для чтения)  
+> - По умолчанию публикуются порты 443:443, а контейнер запускается со сброшенными привилегиями (добавлена только `NET_BIND_SERVICE`)  
+> - Если вам действительно нужна сеть хоста (обычно это требуется только для некоторых конфигураций IPv6), раскомментируйте `network_mode: host`
+
+**Запуск в Docker Compose**

+## Wie Upstreams konfiguriert werden
+
+### Upstream-Schema
+
+| Feld | Gilt für | Typ | Pflicht | Default | Bedeutung |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `[[upstreams]].type` | alle Upstreams | `"direct" \| "socks4" \| "socks5"` | ja | n/a | Upstream-Transporttyp. |
+| `[[upstreams]].weight` | alle Upstreams | `u16` | nein | `1` | Basisgewicht für weighted-random Auswahl. |
+| `[[upstreams]].enabled` | alle Upstreams | `bool` | nein | `true` | Deaktivierte Einträge werden beim Start ignoriert. |
+| `[[upstreams]].scopes` | alle Upstreams | `String` | nein | `""` | Komma-separierte Scope-Tags für Request-Routing. |
+| `interface` | `direct` | `Option<String>` | nein | `null` | Interface-Name (z. B. `eth0`) oder lokale Literal-IP. |
+| `bind_addresses` | `direct` | `Option<Vec<IpAddr>>` | nein | `null` | Explizite Source-IP-Kandidaten (strikter Vorrang vor `interface`). |
+| `address` | `socks4` | `String` | ja | n/a | SOCKS4-Server (`ip:port` oder `host:port`). |
+| `interface` | `socks4` | `Option<String>` | nein | `null` | Wird nur genutzt, wenn `address` als `ip:port` angegeben ist. |
+| `user_id` | `socks4` | `Option<String>` | nein | `null` | SOCKS4 User-ID für CONNECT. |
+| `address` | `socks5` | `String` | ja | n/a | SOCKS5-Server (`ip:port` oder `host:port`). |

+| `password` | `socks5` | `Option<String>` | nein | `null` | SOCKS5 Passwort. |
+
+### Runtime-Regeln (wichtig)
+
+1. Wenn `[[upstreams]]` fehlt, injiziert der Loader einen Default-`direct`-Upstream.
+2. Scope-Filterung basiert auf exaktem Token-Match:
+- mit Request-Scope -> nur Einträge, deren `scopes` genau dieses Token enthält;
+- ohne Request-Scope -> nur Einträge mit leerem `scopes`.
+3. Unter healthy Upstreams erfolgt die Auswahl per weighted random: `weight * latency_factor`.
+4. Gibt es im gefilterten Set keinen healthy Upstream, wird zufällig aus dem gefilterten Set gewählt.
+5. `direct`-Bind-Auflösung:
+- zuerst `bind_addresses` (nur gleiche IP-Familie wie Target);
+- bei `interface` (Name) + `bind_addresses` wird jede Candidate-IP gegen Interface-Adressen validiert;
+- ungültige Kandidaten werden mit `WARN` verworfen;
+- bleiben keine gültigen Kandidaten übrig, erfolgt unbound direct connect (`bind_ip=None`);
+- wenn `bind_addresses` nicht passt, wird `interface` verwendet (Literal-IP oder Interface-Primäradresse).
+6. Für `socks4/socks5` mit Hostname-`address` ist Interface-Binding nicht unterstützt und wird mit Warnung ignoriert.
+7. Runtime DNS Overrides werden für Hostname-Auflösung bei Upstream-Verbindungen genutzt.
+8. Im ME-Modus wird der gewählte Upstream auch für den ME-TCP-Dial-Pfad verwendet.
+9. Im ME-Modus ist bei `direct` mit bind/interface die STUN-Reflection bind-aware für KDF-Adressmaterial.
+10. Im ME-Modus werden bei SOCKS-Upstream `BND.ADDR/BND.PORT` für KDF verwendet, wenn gültig/öffentlich und gleiche IP-Familie.

+## How Upstreams Are Configured
+
+### Upstream schema
+
+| Field | Applies to | Type | Required | Default | Meaning |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `[[upstreams]].type` | all upstreams | `"direct" \| "socks4" \| "socks5"` | yes | n/a | Upstream transport type. |
+| `[[upstreams]].weight` | all upstreams | `u16` | no | `1` | Base weight for weighted-random selection. |
+| `[[upstreams]].enabled` | all upstreams | `bool` | no | `true` | Disabled entries are ignored at startup. |
+| `[[upstreams]].scopes` | all upstreams | `String` | no | `""` | Comma-separated scope tags for request-level routing. |
+| `interface` | `direct` | `Option<String>` | no | `null` | Interface name (e.g. `eth0`) or literal local IP for bind selection. |
+| `bind_addresses` | `direct` | `Option<Vec<IpAddr>>` | no | `null` | Explicit local source IP candidates (strict priority over `interface`). |
+| `address` | `socks4` | `String` | yes | n/a | SOCKS4 server endpoint (`ip:port` or `host:port`). |
+| `interface` | `socks4` | `Option<String>` | no | `null` | Used only for SOCKS server `ip:port` dial path. |
+| `user_id` | `socks4` | `Option<String>` | no | `null` | SOCKS4 user ID for CONNECT request. |
+| `address` | `socks5` | `String` | yes | n/a | SOCKS5 server endpoint (`ip:port` or `host:port`). |
+| `interface` | `socks5` | `Option<String>` | no | `null` | Used only for SOCKS server `ip:port` dial path. |
+| `username` | `socks5` | `Option<String>` | no | `null` | SOCKS5 username auth. |
+| `password` | `socks5` | `Option<String>` | no | `null` | SOCKS5 password auth. |
+
+### Runtime rules (important)
+
+1. If `[[upstreams]]` is omitted, loader injects one default `direct` upstream.
+2. Scope filtering is exact-token based:
+- when request scope is set -> only entries whose `scopes` contains that exact token;
+- when request scope is not set -> only entries with empty `scopes`.
+3. Healthy upstreams are selected by weighted random using: `weight * latency_factor`.
+4. If no healthy upstream exists in filtered set, random selection is used among filtered entries.
+5. `direct` bind resolution order:
+- `bind_addresses` candidates (same IP family as target) first;
+- if `interface` is an interface name and `bind_addresses` is set, each candidate IP is validated against addresses currently assigned to that interface;
+- invalid candidates are dropped with `WARN`;
+- if no valid candidate remains, connection falls back to unbound direct connect (`bind_ip=None`);
+- if no `bind_addresses` candidate, `interface` is used (literal IP or resolved interface primary IP).
+6. For `socks4/socks5` with `address` as hostname, interface binding is not supported and is ignored with warning.
+7. Runtime DNS overrides are used for upstream hostname resolution.
+8. In ME mode, the selected upstream is also used for ME TCP dial path.
+9. In ME mode for `direct` upstream with bind/interface, STUN reflection logic is bind-aware for KDF source material.
+10. In ME mode for SOCKS upstream, SOCKS `BND.ADDR/BND.PORT` is used for KDF when it is valid/public for the same family.

+## Как конфигурируются Upstreams
+
+### Схема upstream
+
+| Поле | Применимость | Тип | Обязательно | Default | Назначение |
+|---|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `[[upstreams]].type` | все upstream | `"direct" \| "socks4" \| "socks5"` | да | n/a | Тип upstream транспорта. |
+| `[[upstreams]].weight` | все upstream | `u16` | нет | `1` | Базовый вес в weighted-random выборе. |
+| `[[upstreams]].enabled` | все upstream | `bool` | нет | `true` | Выключенные записи игнорируются на старте. |
+| `[[upstreams]].scopes` | все upstream | `String` | нет | `""` | Список scope-токенов через запятую для маршрутизации. |
+| `interface` | `direct` | `Option<String>` | нет | `null` | Имя интерфейса (например `eth0`) или literal локальный IP. |
+| `bind_addresses` | `direct` | `Option<Vec<IpAddr>>` | нет | `null` | Явные кандидаты source IP (имеют приоритет над `interface`). |
+| `address` | `socks4` | `String` | да | n/a | Адрес SOCKS4 сервера (`ip:port` или `host:port`). |
+| `interface` | `socks4` | `Option<String>` | нет | `null` | Используется только если `address` задан как `ip:port`. |
+| `user_id` | `socks4` | `Option<String>` | нет | `null` | SOCKS4 user ID в CONNECT-запросе. |
+| `address` | `socks5` | `String` | да | n/a | Адрес SOCKS5 сервера (`ip:port` или `host:port`). |
+| `interface` | `socks5` | `Option<String>` | нет | `null` | Используется только если `address` задан как `ip:port`. |
+| `username` | `socks5` | `Option<String>` | нет | `null` | Логин SOCKS5 auth. |
+| `password` | `socks5` | `Option<String>` | нет | `null` | Пароль SOCKS5 auth. |
+
+### Runtime-правила
+
+1. Если `[[upstreams]]` отсутствует, loader добавляет один upstream `direct` по умолчанию.
+2. Scope-фильтрация — по точному совпадению токена:
+- если scope запроса задан -> используются только записи, где `scopes` содержит такой же токен;
+- если scope запроса не задан -> используются только записи с пустым `scopes`.
+3. Среди healthy upstream используется weighted-random выбор: `weight * latency_factor`.
+4. Если в отфильтрованном наборе нет healthy upstream, выбирается случайный из отфильтрованных.
+5. Порядок выбора bind для `direct`:
+- сначала `bind_addresses` (только IP нужного семейства);
+- если одновременно заданы `interface` (имя) и `bind_addresses`, каждый IP проверяется на принадлежность интерфейсу;
+- несовпадающие IP отбрасываются с `WARN`;
+- если валидных IP не осталось, используется unbound direct connect (`bind_ip=None`);
+- если `bind_addresses` не подходит, применяется `interface` (literal IP или адрес интерфейса).
+6. Для `socks4/socks5` с `address` в виде hostname интерфейсный bind не поддерживается и игнорируется с предупреждением.
+7. Runtime DNS overrides применяются к резолвингу hostname в upstream-подключениях.
+8. В ME-режиме выбранный upstream также используется для ME TCP dial path.
+9. В ME-режиме для `direct` upstream с bind/interface STUN-рефлексия выполняется bind-aware для KDF материала.
+10. В ME-режиме для SOCKS upstream используются `BND.ADDR/BND.PORT` для KDF, если адрес валиден/публичен и соответствует IP family.

+# SNI-маршрутизация в xray-core / sing-box + TLS-fronting
+
+## Термины (в контексте этого кейса)
+
+- **TLS-fronting домен** — домен, который фигурирует в TLS ClientHello как **SNI** (например, `petrovich.ru`): он используется как "маска" на L7 и как ключ маршрутизации в прокси-роутере.
+- **xray-core / sing-box** — локальный или удалённый L7/TLS-роутер (прокси), который:
+  1) принимает входящее TCP/TLS-соединение,
+  2) читает TLS ClientHello,
+  3) извлекает SNI,
+  4) по SNI выбирает outbound/апстрим,
+  5) устанавливает новое TCP-соединение к целевому хосту уже **от себя**.
+- **SNI (Server Name Indication)** — поле в TLS ClientHello, где клиент Telegram сообщает доменное имя для "маскировки"
+- **DNS-resolve на стороне L7-роутера** — если выходной адрес задан доменом (или роутер решил "всё равно идти по SNI"), то DNS резолвится **на стороне xray/sing-box**, а не на стороне Telegram-клиента
+
+---
+
+## Ключевая идея: куда на самом деле идёт соединение решает не то, что вы указали клиенту, а то как L7-роутер трактует SNI
+
+Механика:
+
+1) Telegram-клиенту вы можете указать **IP/домен telemt**,как "сервер".
+2) Между клиентом и telemt стоит xray-core/sing-box, который принимает TCP, читает TLS ClientHello и видит **SNI=petrovich.ru**
+3) Дальше роутер говорит: "Вижу SNI - направить на апстрим/маршрут N"
+4) И устанавливает исходящее соединение не "по тому IP, который пользователь подразумевал", а **по домену из SNI** (или по сопоставлению SNI→outbound), используя для определния его IP собственный DNS-кеш или резолвер
+5) `petrovich.ru` по A-записи указывает **не на IP telemt**, а значит при L7-маршрутизации трафик уйдёт на "оригинальный" сайт за этим доменом, а не в telemt: Telegram-клиент, естественно, не сможет получить ожидаемое поведение, потому что ответить с handshake на той стороне некому
+
+---
+
+## Схема №1 "Как это НЕ работает"
+
+```text
+Telegram Client
+   |
+   |  (указан IP/домен telemt)
+   v
+telemt instance
+````
+
+Ожидание: "я указал telemt -> значит трафик попадёт в telemt" - **нет!**
+
+---
+
+## Схема №2. "Как это реально работает с TLS/L7-роутером и SNI"
+
+```text
+Telegram Client
+   |
+   | 1) TCP/TLS connection: 
+   |    - ClientHello: 
+   |      - SNI=petrovich.ru
+   v
+xray-core / sing-box / любой L7 router
+   |
+   | 2) читает ClientHello -> вытаскивает SNI
+   | 3) выбирает маршрут по SNI
+   | 4) делает DNS для petrovich.ru 
+   | 5) подключается к полученному IP по TLS с этим SNI
+   v
+"Оригинальный" сайт, A-запись которого не на telemt
+   |
+   X  не telemt -> Telegram-клиент не коннектится как ожидалось
+```
+
+---
+
+## Почему указанный в клиенте IP/домен telemt "не спасает"
+
+Потому что в таком режиме xray/sing-box выступает как **точка терминации TCP/TLS**, можно сказать - TLS-инспектор на уровне ClientHello, это означает:
+
+* TCP-сессия от Telegram-клиента заканчивается на xray/sing-box
+* Дальше создаётся **новая** TCP-сессия "от имени" xray/sing-box к апстриму
+* Выбор апстрима делается правилами роутинга, а в TLS-сценариях самый удобный и распространённый ключ — **SNI**
+
+То есть, "куда идти дальше" определяется логикой L7-роутера:
+
+* либо правилами вида `if SNI == petrovich.ru -> outbound X`,
+* либо более "автоматическим" поведением: `подключаться к тому хосту, который указан в SNI`,
+* плюс кэш DNS и собственные резолверы роутера
+
+---
+
+## Что именно извлекается из TLS ClientHello и почему этого достаточно
+
+TLS ClientHello отправляется **в начале** TLS-сессии и, в классическом TLS без ECH, содержит SNI в открытом виде.
+
+Упрощённо:
+
+```text
+ClientHello:
+  - supported_versions
+  - cipher_suites
+  - extensions:
+      - server_name: petrovich.ru   <-- SNI
+      - alpn: h2/http1.1/...
+      - ...
+```
+
+Роутеру не нужно расшифровывать трафик и завершать TLS "как сервер" — часто достаточно просто прочитать первые пакеты и распарсить ClientHello, чтобы получить SNI и принять решение
+
+---
+
+## Типовой алгоритм SNI-роутинга
+
+1. Принять входящий TCP.
+2. Подождать первые байты.
+3. Определить протокол:
+
+   * если видим TLS ClientHello → парсим SNI/ALPN
+4. Применить route rules:
+
+   * match по `server_name` / `domain` / `tls.sni`
+5. Выбрать outbound:
+
+   * direct / proxy / specific upstream / detour
+6. Установить исходящее соединение:
+
+   * либо на фиксированный IP:порт,
+   * либо на домен через DNS-resolve на стороне роутера
+7. Начать проксирование данных между входом и выходом
+
+---
+
+## Почему "A-запись фронтинг-домена не на telemt" ломает кейс
+
+### Ситуация
+
+* В ClientHello: `SNI = petrovich.ru`
+* DNS: `petrovich.ru -> 203.0.113.77`  - "оригинальный" сайт
+* telemt живёт на: `198.51.100.10`
+
+### Что делает роутер
+
+* Видит SNI `petrovich.ru`
+* Либо:
+
+  * (а) напрямую коннектится к `petrovich.ru:443`, резолвя A-запись в `203.0.113.77`,
+  * либо:
+  * (б) выбирает outbound, который указывает на `petrovich.ru` как destination,
+  * либо:
+  * (в) делает sniffing/override destination по SNI
+
+В итоге исходящий коннект идёт на `203.0.113.77:443`, а не на telemt!
+Другой сервер, другой протокол, другая логика, где telemt не участвует
+
+---
+
+## "Где именно происходит подмена destination на SNI"
+
+Это зависит от конфигурации, но типовые варианты:
+
+### Вариант A: outbound задан доменом (и он совпадает с SNI)
+
+Правило по SNI выбирает outbound, у которого destination задан доменом фронтинга, 
+тогда DNS резолвится на стороне роутера и вы уходите на "оригинальный" хост
+
+### Вариант B: destination override / sniffing
+
+Роутер "снифает" SNI и **перезаписывает** destination на домен из SNI (даже если вход изначально был на IP telemt),
+это особенно коварно: пользователь видит "я подключаюсь к IP telemt", но роутер после sniffing решает иначе
+
+### Вариант C: split DNS / кеш / независимый резолвер
+
+Даже если клиент "где-то" резолвит иначе, это не важно: конечный DNS для исходящего коннекта — на стороне xray/sing-box,
+который может иметь:
+
+* свой DoH/DoT,
+* свой кеш,
+* свои правила fake-ip / system resolver,
+* и, как следствие, своя "карта" **домен/SNI -> IP**
+
+---
+
+## Признаки того, что трафик "утёк на оригинал", а не попал в telemt
+
+* На стороне telemt отсутствуют входящие соединения/логи
+* На стороне роутера видно, что destination — домен фронтинга, а IP соответствует публичному сайту
+* TLS-метрики/сертификат на выходе соответствует "оригинальному" сайту в записах трафика
+* Telegram-клиент получает неожиданный тип ответов/ошибку handshaking/timeout в debug-режиме
+
+---
+
+## Best-practice решение для этого кейса: свой домен фронтинга + заглушка на telemt + Let's Encrypt
+
+### Цель
+
+Сделать так, чтобы:
+
+* SNI (фронтинг-домен) **резолвился в IP telemt**,
+* на IP telemt реально был TLS-сервис с валидным сертификатом под этот домен,
+* даже если кто-то "попробует открыть домен как сайт", он увидит нормальную заглушку, а не "пустоту"
+
+### Что это даёт
+
+* xray/sing-box, маршрутизируя по SNI, будет неизбежно приходить на telemt, потому что DNS(SNI-домен) → IP telemt
+* Внешний вид будет правдоподобным: обычный домен с обычным сертификатом
+* Устойчивость: меньше сюрпризов от DNS-кеша/перерезолва/"умных" правил роутера
+
+---
+
+## Рекомендуемая схема (целевое состояние)
+
+```text
+Telegram Client
+   |
+   | TLS ClientHello: SNI = hello.example.com
+   v
+xray-core / sing-box
+   |
+   | Route by SNI -> outbound -> connect to hello.example.com:443
+   | DNS(hello.example.com) = IP telemt
+   v
+telemt instance (IP telemt)
+   |
+   | TLS cert for hello.example.com (Let's Encrypt)
+   | + сайт-заглушка / health endpoint
+   v
+OK
+```
+
+---
+
+## Практический чеклист (минимальный)
+
+1. Купить/иметь домен: `hello.example.com`
+2. В DNS:
+
+   * `A hello.example.com -> <IP telemt>`
+   * (опционально) AAAA, если используете IPv6 и он стабилен
+3. На telemt-хосте:
+
+   * поднять TLS endpoint на 443 с валидным сертификатом LE под `hello.example.com`
+   * отдать "заглушку" (например, статический сайт), чтобы домен выглядел как обычный веб-сервис
+4. В xray/sing-box правилах:
+
+   * маршрутизировать нужный трафик по SNI = `hello.example.com` в "правильный" outbound (к telemt)
+   * избегать конфигураций, где destination override уводит на чужой домен
+5. Важно:
+
+   * если вы используете кеш DNS на роутере — сбросить/обновить его после смены A-записи
+
+---
+
+## Пояснение про сайт-заглушку
+
+Для эмуляции TLS, telemt имеет подсистему TLS-F в `src/tls_front`:
+- её модуль - fetcher, собирает TLS-профили, чтоб максимально поведенчески корректно повторять TLS конкретно указанного сайта
+
+Когда вы указываете сайт, который не отвечает по TLS:
+- fetcher не может собрать TLS-профиль и происходит fallback на `fake_cert_len` - примитивный алгоритм,
+- он забивает служебную информацию TLS рандомными байтами,
+- простые системы DPI не распознают это
+- однако, продвинутые системы, такие как nEdge или Fraud Control в сетях мобильной связи легко заблокируют или замедлят такой трафик
+
+Создав сайт-заглушку с Let's Encrypt сертификатом, вы даёте TLS-F возможность получить данные сертификата и корректно его "повторять" в дальнейшем
+
+---
+
+## Вариант конфиг-подхода: "SNI строго привязываем к telemt - фиксированный IP"
+
+Чтобы полностью исключить зависимость от DNS если вам это нужно, можно сделать outbound, который ходит на **фиксированный IP telemt**, но при этом выставляет SNI/Host как `hello.example.com`.
+
+Идея:
+
+* destination: `IP:443`
+* SNI: `hello.example.com`
+* сертификат на telemt именно под `hello.example.com`
+
+Так вы получаете:
+
+* TLS выглядит корректно, ведь SNI совпадает с сертификатом,
+* а routing никогда не уйдёт на "оригинал", потому что A-запись указывает на telemt и контроллируется вами!
+
+Но в вашем описании проблема как раз в том, что роутер "сам решает по SNI и резолвит домен", поэтому самый универсальный вариант — сделать так, чтобы DNS всегда приводил в telemt
+
+---
+
+## Пример логики правил на псевдоконфиге L7-роутера
+
+```text
+if inbound is TLS and sni == "hello.example.com":
+    route -> outbound "telemt"
+else:
+    route -> outbound "default"
+```
+
+Outbound `telemt`:
+
+* destination: `hello.example.com:443`
+* TLS enabled
+* SNI: `hello.example.com`
+
+---
+
+## Отдельно: что может неожиданно сломать даже "правильный" DNS
+
+* **Кеширование DNS** на xray/sing-box или на системном резолвере, особенно при смене A-записи
+* **Split-horizon DNS**: разные ответы внутри/снаружи, попытки подмены/терминирования в других точках
+* **IPv6**: если есть AAAA и он указывает не туда, роутер может предпочесть IPv6: помните, что поддержка v6 нестабильна и не рекомендуется в prod
+* **DoH/DoT** на роутере: он может резолвить не тем резолвером, которым вы проверяли
+
+Минимальная гигиена:
+
+* контролировать A/AAAA,
+* держать TTL разумным,
+* проверять, каким резолвером пользуется именно роутер,
+* при необходимости отключить/ограничить destination override
+
+---
+
+## Итог
+
+В режиме TLS-fronting с xray-core/sing-box как L7/TLS-роутером **SNI становится приоритетным "source-of-truth" для маршрутизации**
+
+Если фронтинг-домен по DNS указывает не на IP telemt, роутер честно уводит трафик на "оригинальный" сайт, потому что он строит исходящее соединение "по SNI"
+
+Надёжное решение для этого кейса:
+
+* использовать **свой домен** для фронтинга,
+* направить его **A/AAAA** на IP telemt,
+* поднять на telemt **TLS-сервис с Let’s Encrypt сертификатом** под этот домен,
+* (желательно) держать **сайт-заглушку**, чтобы 443 выглядел как обычный HTTPS
