Hi,

according to https://signal.org/blog/looking-back-on-the-front/,
Amazon has explicitly denied usage of one of their domains for
"domain fronting".

As far as I understand it, establishing a TLS connection to
host A, but sending a Host: header for host B (the endpoint
that is supposed to be protected by the domain fronting)
is exactly the mechanism the meek transports use.
Is meek still active? Is this a problem?

Best,
Marco
