[network]
# please be aware that mtg needs to do some external requests. For

# address from some external service.
#
# As for 2.0, if you set a public-ip on your own, mtg won't issue any
# network requests except of those required for Telegram.
#
# so, in order of doing them, it needs to do DNS lookup. mtg ignores DNS
# resolver of the operating system and uses DOH instead. This is a host
# it has to access.
#
# By default we use Cloudflare.
#
# DEPRECATED option:
#  If dns option is specified, it will be used instead. No default is defined
#  anymore. But if you set this option, this is literally the same providing
#  https:// URL to `dns`.
#
#  In other words:
#
#    doh-ip = "1.1.1.1"
#
# is literally the same as
#
#    dns = "https://1.1.1.1"
# doh-ip = "1.1.1.1"

# Starting from mtg v2.1.12 we have changed a configuration for DNS. Now it
# supports DNS-over-HTTPS, DNS-over-TLS, custom UDP resolver and system
# resolver.
#
# Here is how to define DNS-over-HTTPS:
#  - https://1.1.1.1
#  - https://1.1.1.1/dns-query
#  - https://cloudflare-dns.com/dns-query
#  - https://cloudflare-dns.com
#
# Here is how to define DNS-over-TLS:
#  - tls://1.1.1.1
#  - tls://cloudflare-dns.com
#
# Here is how to define a custom UDP resolver (we support only IPs here)
#  - 1.1.1.1
#  - udp://1.1.1.1
#
# If you set it to empty string, default resolver will be used.
# But please comment out doh-ip

# mtg can work via proxies (for now, we support only socks5). Proxy
# configuration is done via list. So, you can specify many proxies

# Actually, if you supply an empty list, then no proxies are going to be
# used. If you supply a single proxy, then mtg will use it exclusively.
# If you supply >= 2, then mtg will load balance between them.
#
# If you add an empty string here, this is an equivalent of 'plain network',
# with no proxy usage.
#
# Proxy configuration is done via ordinary URI schema:
#
#     socks5://user:password@host:port
#
# Only socks5 proxy is used. user/password is optional. As you can
# see, you can specify some parameters in GET query. These parameters
# configure circuit breaker.

# mtg has to mimic real websites. It does not mean domain fronting, it also
# means that traffic characteristics should be similar to real world traffic.
# websites and applications behave differently, their traffic patterns are also
# different. Applications do bursts of RPC-style messages (or JSON communication,
# does not really matter), while websites pump heavy content in HTTP2 streams
#
# It means that statistically there is a different between traffic shape:
# delays between packets are also different.
# In order to avoid censorship detection based on these patterns, there is a
# mtg subsystem called "Doppelganger" that aims to mimic website statistics
# as close as it could.
#
# Delays between TLS packets are not constant. There are many factors
# that come in play. Application should generate some response, it could
# send some headers first and stream content with chunked encoding. So
# some first packets could come as soon as possible, with some delays
# after first ones. Such phenomenon is described by different statistic
# distribution. There are 2 distribution that describe it: lognormal
# distribution and Weibul distribution. Lognormal is all about steady streams
# of heavy content like a video. Weibul is great about short bursts like
# user who requested a static page an a couple of images.
[defense.doppelganger]
# This is a list of URLs that would be crawled by mtg to approximate delay

# This enables dynamic tls record sizing.
#
# Some modern stacks and platforms start to use the technique that is called
# DRS. They start with small TLS packets and ramp up eventually. First packets
# are usually about MTU size, after that we get 4k and eventually max size.
# This is done with a good intention: to minimize a time to the first byte,
# so application could start doing something with the data right after first
# RTT.
#
# Apparently, about 90% of application do not employ this technique, they use
# max size always: nginx, apache, java stuff. But Golang tools, angie and
# some specific patches activate this technique.
#
# In order to mimic a real website we need to know something about software
# it uses. Usually nobody cares: openssl does 16384, Python does it, nginx
