The Reality protocol does not support CDN, so what can we do to use Reality in Iran where we need to use CDN to obtain good speed?

The Reality protocol is not compatible with CDN, which can result in slower speeds when used in locations such as Iran where CDN is necessary for optimal performance. Given this limitation, what alternative options or solutions can be implemented to ensure that Reality can still be used effectively in Iran without sacrificing speed?

You should try hysteria, it's optimized for lossy and unstable connections.

Are there any options besides employing the hysteria protocol? Specifically, how do individuals in China effectively utilize the reality protocol to circumvent the GFW? Could the sluggish line quality be attributed to the German origin of my virtual private server or is it due to the dissimilarities between the Iranian and Chinese firewalls and their impact on the TCP protocol?

There are several reports of Iran deliberately throttling connections to proxy servers.

• "xray/vless/xtls/trojan all speed limited as of today" xray/vless/xtls/trojan all speed limited as of today net4people/bbs#185
• "Iran/China is probably using deep learning to detect VPN traffic" Iran/China is probably using deep learning to detect VPN traffic. net4people/bbs#184
• "Iran limiting v2ray and shadowsocks private servers" Iran limiting v2ray and shadowsocks private servers net4people/bbs#166

It could be that Iran's censors view a Hetzner VPS as likely to be proxy server, regardless of the protocol used.

Or it could be network metrics that make it look like a proxy server. If all your traffic goes to one IP address, and you are the only person sending traffic to that IP address, it looks suspiciously like a proxy server.

So you could try using a non-obvious VPS provider, and you could try only using your proxy server intermittently, but there are no guarantees this would work.

I can confirm that Iran is actively throttling TCP connections to digitalocean servers (could also be true for other well known providers). I tried MANY droplets from all over europe and ALL of them were throttled to about 50-100 KBps download rate. I used hysteria and the restriction seemed to not exist for UDP and it worked flawlessly.

What ISP are you using? For me hysteria didn't work at all (irancell)
