+#
+#   Quick Start:
+#     1. Set [server].port to your desired port (443 recommended)

+# 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. Must be `> 0`. |
+| `minimal_runtime_enabled` | `bool` | `false` | Enables runtime snapshot endpoints requiring ME pool read-lock aggregation. |
+| `minimal_runtime_cache_ttl_ms` | `u64` | `1000` | Cache TTL for minimal snapshots. `0` disables cache; valid range is `[0, 60000]`. |
+| `read_only` | `bool` | `false` | Disables mutating endpoints. |
+
+`server.admin_api` is accepted as an alias for backward compatibility.
+
+Runtime validation for API config:
+- `server.api.listen` must be a valid `IP:PORT`.
+- `server.api.request_body_limit_bytes` must be `> 0`.
+- `server.api.minimal_runtime_cache_ttl_ms` must be within `[0, 60000]`.
+
+## Protocol Contract
+
+| Item | Value |
+| --- | --- |
+| Transport | HTTP/1.1 |
+| Content type | `application/json; charset=utf-8` |
+| Prefix | `/v1` |
+| Optimistic concurrency | `If-Match: <revision>` on mutating requests (optional) |
+| Revision format | SHA-256 hex of current `config.toml` content |
+
+### Success Envelope
+```json
+{
+  "ok": true,
+  "data": {},
+  "revision": "sha256-hex"
+}
+```
+
+### Error Envelope
+```json
+{
+  "ok": false,
+  "error": {
+    "code": "machine_code",
+    "message": "human-readable"
+  },
+  "request_id": 1
+}
+```
+
+## Request Processing Order
+
+Requests are processed in this order:
+1. `api_enabled` gate (`503 api_disabled` if disabled).
+2. Source IP whitelist gate (`403 forbidden`).
+3. `Authorization` header gate when configured (`401 unauthorized`).
+4. Route and method matching (`404 not_found` or `405 method_not_allowed`).
+5. `read_only` gate for mutating routes (`403 read_only`).
+6. Request body read/limit/JSON decode (`413 payload_too_large`, `400 bad_request`).
+7. Business validation and config write path.
+
+Notes:
+- Whitelist is evaluated against the direct TCP peer IP (`SocketAddr::ip`), without `X-Forwarded-For` support.
+- `Authorization` check is exact string equality against configured `auth_header`.
+
+## Endpoint Matrix
+
+| Method | Path | Body | Success | `data` contract |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `GET` | `/v1/health` | none | `200` | `HealthData` |
+| `GET` | `/v1/stats/summary` | none | `200` | `SummaryData` |
+| `GET` | `/v1/stats/zero/all` | none | `200` | `ZeroAllData` |
+| `GET` | `/v1/stats/upstreams` | none | `200` | `UpstreamsData` |
+| `GET` | `/v1/stats/minimal/all` | none | `200` | `MinimalAllData` |
+| `GET` | `/v1/stats/me-writers` | none | `200` | `MeWritersData` |
+| `GET` | `/v1/stats/dcs` | none | `200` | `DcStatusData` |
+| `GET` | `/v1/stats/users` | none | `200` | `UserInfo[]` |
+| `GET` | `/v1/users` | none | `200` | `UserInfo[]` |
+| `POST` | `/v1/users` | `CreateUserRequest` | `201` | `CreateUserResponse` |
+| `GET` | `/v1/users/{username}` | none | `200` | `UserInfo` |
+| `PATCH` | `/v1/users/{username}` | `PatchUserRequest` | `200` | `UserInfo` |
+| `DELETE` | `/v1/users/{username}` | none | `200` | `string` (deleted username) |
+| `POST` | `/v1/users/{username}/rotate-secret` | `RotateSecretRequest` or empty body | `404` | `ErrorResponse` (`not_found`, current runtime behavior) |
+
+## Common Error Codes
+
+| HTTP | `error.code` | Trigger |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `400` | `bad_request` | Invalid JSON, validation failures, malformed request body. |
+| `401` | `unauthorized` | Missing/invalid `Authorization` when `auth_header` is configured. |
+| `403` | `forbidden` | Source IP is not allowed by whitelist. |
+| `403` | `read_only` | Mutating endpoint called while `read_only=true`. |
+| `404` | `not_found` | Unknown route, unknown user, or unsupported sub-route (including current `rotate-secret` route). |
+| `405` | `method_not_allowed` | Unsupported method for `/v1/users/{username}` route shape. |
+| `409` | `revision_conflict` | `If-Match` revision mismatch. |
+| `409` | `user_exists` | User already exists on create. |
+| `409` | `last_user_forbidden` | Attempt to delete last configured user. |
+| `413` | `payload_too_large` | Body exceeds `request_body_limit_bytes`. |
+| `500` | `internal_error` | Internal error (I/O, serialization, config load/save). |
+| `503` | `api_disabled` | API disabled in config. |
+
+## Routing and Method Edge Cases
+
+| Case | Behavior |
+| --- | --- |
+| Path matching | Exact match on `req.uri().path()`. Query string does not affect route matching. |
+| Trailing slash | Not normalized. Example: `/v1/users/` is `404`. |
+| Username route with extra slash | `/v1/users/{username}/...` is not treated as user route and returns `404`. |
+| `PUT /v1/users/{username}` | `405 method_not_allowed`. |
+| `POST /v1/users/{username}` | `404 not_found`. |
+| `POST /v1/users/{username}/rotate-secret` | `404 not_found` in current release due route matcher limitation. |
+
+## Body and JSON Semantics
+
+- Request body is read only for mutating routes that define a body contract.
+- Body size limit is enforced during streaming read (`413 payload_too_large`).
+- Invalid transport body frame returns `400 bad_request` (`Invalid request body`).
+- Invalid JSON returns `400 bad_request` (`Invalid JSON body`).
+- `Content-Type` is not required for JSON parsing.
+- Unknown JSON fields are ignored by deserialization.
+- `PATCH` updates only provided fields and does not support explicit clearing of optional fields.
+- `If-Match` supports both quoted and unquoted values; surrounding whitespace is trimmed.

+
+| Endpoint | Notes |
+| --- | --- |

+| `POST /v1/users/{username}/rotate-secret` | Currently returns `404` in runtime route matcher; request schema is reserved for intended behavior. |
+| `DELETE /v1/users/{username}` | Deletes user and related optional settings. Last user deletion is blocked. |
+
+All mutating endpoints:
+- Respect `read_only` mode.
+- Accept optional `If-Match` for optimistic concurrency.
+- Return new `revision` after successful write.
+- Use process-local mutation lock + atomic write (`tmp + rename`) for config persistence.
+
+## Runtime State Matrix
+
+| Endpoint | `minimal_runtime_enabled=false` | `minimal_runtime_enabled=true` + source unavailable | `minimal_runtime_enabled=true` + source available |
+| --- | --- | --- | --- |
+| `/v1/stats/minimal/all` | `enabled=false`, `reason=feature_disabled`, `data=null` | `enabled=true`, `reason=source_unavailable`, fallback `data` with disabled ME blocks | `enabled=true`, `reason` omitted, full payload |
+| `/v1/stats/me-writers` | `middle_proxy_enabled=false`, `reason=feature_disabled` | `middle_proxy_enabled=false`, `reason=source_unavailable` | `middle_proxy_enabled=true`, runtime snapshot |
+| `/v1/stats/dcs` | `middle_proxy_enabled=false`, `reason=feature_disabled` | `middle_proxy_enabled=false`, `reason=source_unavailable` | `middle_proxy_enabled=true`, runtime snapshot |
+| `/v1/stats/upstreams` | `enabled=false`, `reason=feature_disabled`, `summary/upstreams` omitted, `zero` still present | `enabled=true`, `reason=source_unavailable`, `summary/upstreams` omitted, `zero` present | `enabled=true`, `reason` omitted, `summary/upstreams` present, `zero` present |
+
+`source_unavailable` conditions:
+- ME endpoints: ME pool is absent (for example direct-only mode or failed ME initialization).
+- Upstreams endpoint: non-blocking upstream snapshot lock is unavailable at request time.
+
+## Serialization Rules
+
+- Success responses always include `revision`.
+- Error responses never include `revision`; they include `request_id`.
+- Optional fields with `skip_serializing_if` are omitted when absent.
+- Nullable payload fields may still be `null` where contract uses `?` (for example `UserInfo` option fields).
+- For `/v1/stats/upstreams`, authentication details of SOCKS upstreams are intentionally omitted.
+
+## Operational Notes
+
+| Topic | Details |
+| --- | --- |
+| API startup | API listener is spawned only when `[server.api].enabled=true`. |
+| `listen` port `0` | API spawn is skipped when parsed listen port is `0` (treated as disabled bind target). |
+| Bind failure | Failed API bind logs warning and API task exits (no auto-retry loop). |
+| ME runtime status endpoints | `/v1/stats/me-writers`, `/v1/stats/dcs`, `/v1/stats/minimal/all` require `[server.api].minimal_runtime_enabled=true`; otherwise they return disabled payload with `reason=feature_disabled`. |
+| Upstream runtime endpoint | `/v1/stats/upstreams` always returns `zero`, but runtime fields (`summary`, `upstreams`) require `[server.api].minimal_runtime_enabled=true`. |
+| Restart requirements | `server.api` changes are restart-required for predictable behavior. |
+| Hot-reload nuance | A pure `server.api`-only config change may not propagate through watcher broadcast; a mixed change (with hot fields) may propagate API flags while still warning that restart is required. |
+| Runtime apply path | Successful writes are picked up by existing config watcher/hot-reload path. |
+| Exposure | Built-in TLS/mTLS is not provided. Use loopback bind + reverse proxy if needed. |
+| Pagination | User list currently has no pagination/filtering. |
+| Serialization side effect | Config comments/manual formatting are not preserved on write. |
+
+## Known Limitations (Current Release)
+
+- `POST /v1/users/{username}/rotate-secret` is currently unreachable in route matcher and returns `404`.
+- API runtime controls under `server.api` are documented as restart-required; hot-reload behavior for these fields is not strictly uniform in all change combinations.

+## 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 — 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.

+# 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
