Configurable junk packets

[Shulyaka]

The official AmneziaWG client has introduced a feature to configure specific values for the junk packets instead of noise. This can help masking AWG traffic as other protocols to better combat detection.
It would be really nice to have the same feature in this app as well.

Hello!

Is this not already possible on the config edit screen with these values? https://wgtunnel.com/docs/backends/

Or, are there different values that have been introduced? Any resources you can share on this?

[Shulyaka]

No, they now allow to input the whole junk packet value to disguise it as other protocols.

Here is the link, sorry for not providing it right away: https://docs.amnezia.org/documentation/instructions/new-amneziawg-selfhosted

Thanks! Ill look into adding this!

So I did some digging and the reason I did not see this before is because this feature is not actually part of the native AmneziaWG spec. It is an app level feature and not actually part of the AmneziaWG protocol. With this being the case, this will be less straight forward to add support for.

It is a brand new feature that they announced very recently. The native AmneziaWG application does not support it yet. Their AmneziaVPN android client supports it, but with some caveats.
I guess we just need to wait until they release the new library version.

I could be wrong, but I don't expect this feature will be added to the lib or else they probably would have implemented it there from the start. They released a new lib version with amnezia 1.5, but it wasn't included.

I can still add this feature, it will just take more time.

Amnezia 1.5 has been added with support for this in the latest nightly versions so I'll mark this one as closed.

Thank you so much!
