Support HTTPS!!!! #433

In Chinese Mainland there is a thing called GFW, which blocks a lot of internet connections, such as Youtube, Twitter, Facebook, etc. But it also blocks Steam Community. Intermittently blocks Github and Steam Store.

The blocking methods used by the Steam community is "DNS cache pollution" and "SNI RST". The blocking methods used by Github are "DNS cache pollution" and "intermittent SNI RST". So there are two ways to access Steam Community and Github here, "Reverse Proxy" or VPN.

Under VPN: VPN

Under Reverse Proxy: reverse proxy reverse proxy1 reverse proxy2

Apparently, the Steam Community can be accessed using a "Reverse Proxy".

Then I understood how to solve the problem.

Protocols are not encrypted!!!!

Despite using a "reverse proxy", HTTP will be blocked, HTTPS is required!!!

Another project fixes this problem: https://github.com/Jack-Myth/IdleMaster-HTTPS-Fix But that program is in disrepair.
