Yay! Nothing better than to put something that screams "bleeding edge" to handle all your traffic. YOLO, amirite?

update: I love the unexplained downvotes, can't help but feel that as there's no argument they can make against what I wrote they are implicitly acknowledging that the point I made is, as it happens, correct.

How about 0-RTT replay attack protection?

Well, "ssl_early_data" is opt-in. If you enable it on a virtualhost, then you also need to look at the "Early-Data" request header in your backend and make a decision there. e.g. process GET requests, otherwise send HTTP 425 Too Early.

It does seem a bit unsafe. An administrator might opt-in because they copy-pasted it from a tutorial, and not understand or pay attention to the second part.

Looks I don't need Cloudflare anymore XD.

Yes, it's "almost" comical. The advantage of having a CDN with a pop in every city, vs. just having 3 or 4 well placed POP's around the world will be marginal once HTTP3 is broadly supported.

I honestly can't tell if this is a serious take or sarcasm. I hope the latter...

I haven't been following the TLS1.3 development. What is the current state of SNI encryption? Is it possible to encrypt the name of the host you're trying to connect to?

That's eSNI and I believe it's part of 1.3: https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-esni-04

Not sure what's the implementation status though.

Why do you say this?
