MasterHttpRelayVPN-RUST is a censorship-circumvention proxy that bypasses DPI and SNI blocking by relaying traffic through Google's infrastructure.
The tool solves the problem of accessing blocked websites in censored networks by using a Google Apps Script deployed to a user's own free Google account as a relay. Traffic is encrypted and appears to ISPs as ordinary HTTPS connections to google.com, while the actual destination lookup happens inside Google's network. The approach requires no paid services or external infrastructure beyond what a user already has access to.
The project suits individuals in censored regions who need reliable circumvention without cost or complexity. It works across Mac, Windows, Linux, Android, and OpenWRT routers, and integrates with any application supporting HTTP or SOCKS5 proxies. The tool distinguishes itself through its minimal footprint—a single three-megabyte binary with no runtime dependencies—and the fact that setup involves only deploying a script to a free Google account and running a local proxy application. The README does not compare it to alternative circumvention tools.
The project is a Rust port of an earlier Python implementation, with the original concept credited elsewhere. Development appears focused on maintaining cross-platform compatibility and usability, with documentation provided in both English and Persian to serve its primary user base. The codebase includes a desktop UI built with egui alongside a command-line interface, indicating attention to accessibility for non-technical users.
