gollark: There's that encrypted SNI extension around but it's quite WIP and I don't think much supports it.
gollark: What? They totally can, TLS 1.3 doesn't do anything to hide the SNI.
gollark: I mean, to some extent, but they *consistently* lied about all their data so who knows, and covering up is a monorically stupid initial response.
gollark: Unless they had another one in the last few months.
