"DOH" is exactly my reaction when I read this.

Note that there are a couple of stealth protocol implementations which route IP over DNS … allowing us to go full circle.

Well, already 10 years ago I half-jokingly wrote in my master's thesis that HTTP is becoming the 8th layer of the 7 layer OSI model :) That's the ultimate symptom of network ossification. I still hope that can be avoided.

Part of the issue is that even encrypted TCP leaks the port number.
So to avoid that only a single port is used, which then become heavily multiplexed.

ssh over port 443 https://github.com/shawnl/nginx-ssh

also Tor goes over port 443 for obvious reasons, and has an identical handshake to firefox
