+# SNI-routing deployment for mtg
+
+A turnkey `docker compose` setup that puts an SNI-aware TCP router
+(HAProxy) in front of mtg **and** a real web server (Caddy with
+automatic HTTPS).
+
+## Why
+
+Modern DPI systems actively probe suspected proxies.  If the server
+closes the connection or returns something unexpected, the IP gets
+flagged.  With this setup:
+
+- **Telegram clients** connect to port 443, HAProxy sees the configured
+  SNI and routes them to mtg (FakeTLS).
+- **Everything else** (browsers, DPI probes, scanners) is routed to
+  Caddy, which responds with a real Let's Encrypt certificate and serves
+  genuine web content.
+
+Because your domain's DNS points to this server, the SNI/IP match is
+natural and passive DPI has nothing to flag.
+
+## Quick start
+
+```bash
+# 1. Point your domain's DNS A/AAAA record to this server's IP.
+
+# 2. Generate an mtg secret:
+docker run --rm nineseconds/mtg:2 generate-secret --hex YOUR_DOMAIN
+
+# 3. Edit the config files:
+#    - mtg-config.toml  →  paste the secret
+#    - haproxy.cfg       →  replace "example.com" in the SNI ACL
+#    - .env or export    →  DOMAIN=your.domain
+
+# 4. (Optional) put your site content into www/
+
+# 5. Start:
+docker compose up -d
+
+# 6. Verify:
+#    - Open https://YOUR_DOMAIN in a browser → you should see the web page
+#    - Configure Telegram with the proxy link from:
+docker compose exec mtg mtg access /config/config.toml
+```
+
+## ACME (Let's Encrypt) notes
+
+Caddy needs to answer the ACME HTTP-01 challenge on port 80.  The
+default `haproxy.cfg` redirects all `:80` traffic to HTTPS.  If Caddy
+cannot obtain a certificate, either:
+
+1. Temporarily stop HAProxy, let Caddy bind `:80` directly for the
+   initial certificate, then start the full stack; or
+2. Use DNS-01 validation in the Caddyfile (requires a DNS provider
+   plugin); or
+3. Add an HAProxy ACL that passes `/.well-known/acme-challenge/`
+   requests to the Caddy backend instead of redirecting.
+
+## Architecture
+
+```
+              ┌──────────────────┐
+ :443  ──────>│    HAProxy       │
+              │  (TCP, SNI peek) │

+# SNI-routing deployment: HAProxy (443) -> mtg + real web backend
+#
+# This setup puts an SNI-aware TCP router in front of mtg so that:
+#   - Telegram clients (FakeTLS with the correct SNI) are routed to mtg
+#   - All other TLS traffic (including DPI probes) reaches the real web
+#     server, which responds with a genuine certificate
+#
+# The result: active probes see a real website; passive DPI sees matching
+# SNI/IP because the domain resolves to this server's IP.
+#
+# Quick start:
+#   1. Set YOUR_DOMAIN below (and in mtg-config.toml)
+#   2. docker compose up -d
+#   3. mtg generate-secret YOUR_DOMAIN   -> put it in mtg-config.toml
+#   4. docker compose restart mtg
+#
+# See BEST_PRACTICES.md and the project wiki for background.
