Obscura: A Next-Gen VPN Using 2-Party Relays and QUIC

Existing consumer VPNs suffer from significant trust and privacy issues, as VPN providers act as a man-in-the-middle, seeing both user personal info and browsing history. Obscura VPN solves this by using a 2-party relay architecture and a QUIC-based VPN protocol. The 2-party relay separates "who you are" from "what you do," ensuring that even if one relay is compromised, not all user information is leaked. QUIC disguises VPN traffic as HTTP/3 traffic, bypassing network filters and avoiding the performance degradation of TCP over TCP. Obscura partners with Mullvad as its exit node and open-sources its app's entire source code, aiming for an open and private internet.
