   #Firefox just announced a new #privacy feature: Encrypted Client Hello (ECH). In short, it encrypts the very first message the browser sends out to initiate an encrypted communication tunnel (TLS channel) with a website.

   "ECH uses a public key fetched over the Domain Name System (DNS) to encrypt the first message between a browser and a website, protecting the name of the visited website from prying eyes and dramatically improving user privacy."

     @ilyess Ha. And here I was dreaming of being able to set up my private task management server with something like ECH using a pre-shared key, and setting the server to not respond to non-decryptable comms or portscans

     Last time I set up a (next)cloud server it only lasted a few weeks, so before trying again, I'm trying to figure out how to reduce the amount of random hackers that can even see the server, let alone crash my server

     @ilyess seriously ECH sounds awesome and I didn't know someone had actually made it a thing
