Network is reliable

@mullvadnet I don't like it at all, to be honest.

Right now I can setup #OpenWrt using your #XTLS bridges and #OpenVPN. And that's probably most advanced bypass setup.

But with #WireGuard you do not provide something comparable to this in terms of switchover/failover, easy setup, censorship bypass.
I can not use your custom mix of #Shadowsocks and #WireGuard on my OpenWrt router. And Shadowsocks is much worse than #xtlsreality

I will probably switch to a different VPN provider.

@network_is_reliable @mullvadnet Why exactly do you need socks proxy specifically? If your country censors your internet connections then it is probably doing so via DPI, so consider using a DPI bypass for your router.

That's why I use Xray-core bridges provided by Mullvad right now to wrap OpenVPN connection which works well with socks proxy.

But vanilla WireGuard doesn't support socks. And Mullvad XTLS bridges block connections to WireGuard servers anyway.

@network_is_reliable @mullvadnet to be fair you’ve been given over a year’s notice. Plenty of time to assess if Wireguard can work for you or if you’d be better hopping to another VPN without having to rush anything. Seems pretty decent compared to most places that just arbitrarily announce a feature is going away with zero notice.
