How a Single SNI Rule Collapses Tailscale in Myanmar—And the Workaround That Works

Tailscale's blockade in Myanmar relies on a deceptively simple mechanism: a single SNI filter that can be bypassed with a custom relay on port 443, yet Tailscale hasn't made this fix widely available. The platform serves as critical infrastructure for journalists, remote workers, and teams requiring secure connectivity, making its inaccessibility a genuine disruption to legitimate work rather than mere censorship theater. This gap between a working solution and its deployment exposes millions of users to preventable state-level blocking.
