The junk marker was a per-key CONSTANT sent in plaintext at a fixed offset in
junk frames. Junk is meant to look like random noise (zapret-style), but a
constant prefix is a recognizable per-user structure: an on-path observer
watching one user sees the same 4 bytes on every junk packet, i.e. an OSTP
fingerprint. (The earlier fix only removed the GLOBAL constant.)
Now the marker rotates every 60s window: junk_marker = HKDF(key, ver, 0x04 ||
window). To an observer the prefix changes each window (no fixed signature),
and a captured marker is only valid for ~1 window — the "bit of protection"
against a leaked marker. Only a key holder can compute it, so an outsider still
can't forge a silently-dropped junk packet (and silent-drop is cheaper than
normal processing anyway, so junk spam was never a DoS lever to begin with).
- core: derive_junk_marker(key, window) + current_junk_window() (60s window),
same version-gated HKDF scheme; junk_marker dropped from DerivedSecrets.
- client: stamps junk with the current window's marker.
- server: checks current AND previous window per key (absorbs ~1 window of
clock skew) before falling through to unauthorized-probe handling.
- Not a wire break: only junk framing changes; real handshake/data untouched.
During mixed rollout, unmatched junk merely logs as a probe (cosmetic).
security / protocol:
- Derive a PER-KEY junk marker (obfuscation.rs, info byte 0x04) instead of the
global constant [0x88,0x1A,0x93,0x5D]. A fixed marker was a universal DPI
signature identifying ALL OSTP users at once — exactly what the HKDF version
gate avoids for the handshake. Server drops junk via a new DispatchOutcome::Junk
inside the existing key-trial loop (secrets already derived → zero extra cost);
client stamps its own key's marker.
- §E: configurable junk/fragmentation params (junk_pc / junk_ps / frag_chunk / frag_sleep).
GUI (desktop):
- Light theme + toggle, GUI version footer in Settings.
- Fix mouse-wheel scroll on Settings (flex child needed min-height: 0).
- Drop the false "process exclusions unsupported in TUN mode" warning — they DO
work (native_handler maps port->process via GetExtendedTcpTable).
release / infra:
- build.ps1: add -PreRelease (tag CURRENT version as v<ver>-beta.N, no bump, no
master commit); guard the panel build when ostp-control ships no source; bump
the real ostp-gui/package.json instead of the nonexistent ostp-control one.
- release.yml: mark hyphenated tags as GitHub pre-releases; don't hard-fail the
web-panel step when there is no source (use committed dist/).
- Versions aligned to 0.4.1; README license badge BSL 1.1 -> AGPL v3.

Ported only the fixes that actually apply to the pre-refactor base
(the handshake fixes 6eb7b36/d65af35 fix bugs the 0.3.1 multi-server
refactor introduced into the new outbounds/ostp.rs; the base bridge.rs
already waits for the handshake response with retransmit + NAT64
fallback, so they are intentionally skipped).
- EMFILE (922cf0b): rlimit::increase_nofile_limit at CLI startup.
- Logs (1151726): UoT connect/disconnect → debug; rate-limit the
unauthorized-probe log to one line / ~30s so a junk/probe flood can't
spam the log (and a client running junk-over-UDP can't self-ban).
- Helper lifecycle + bypass routes (b6e78c1):
* ostp-tun-helper forces std::process::exit(0) after run_server so the
WinTun adapter and its metric-0 default route are reclaimed instead
of lingering as a zombie that breaks the next connect.
* windows_route: delete_routes_for_dest() purges stale /32s, dedupe
bypass IPs, and log add failures at warn!.
* windows: retry tun::create through the transient ERROR_INVALID_
PARAMETER window and widen the adapter-index lookup to ~15s.

The core bug: server sent 5 TLS records in server_hello but client only
read the first one (ServerHello), then passed remaining bytes (CCS + fake
records) into RealityStream. RealityStream saw 0x14 (CCS) != 0x17 and
immediately returned an error, killing the connection.
Changes:
- reality.rs: append ChangeCipherSpec after ClientHello (RFC 8446 D.4)
export REALITY_SERVER_HANDSHAKE_RECORDS=5 constant
- xhttp.rs: drain all 5 server handshake records before creating RealityStream
- uot.rs: rebuild server_hello as proper 5-record TLS 1.3 flight:
ServerHello + CCS + fake EE (108B) + fake Cert (812B) + fake Fin (52B)
drain client CCS from raw stream before wrapping in RealityStream
- Flutter: Hide 'DNS Server' field and force '10.1.0.1' if connection link contains owndns=true
- Flutter: Remove 'Use Provider DNS' toggle to eliminate client-side choice
- Server (relay.rs): Intercept DNS queries targeting '10.1.0.1:53' and process them via internal DnsServer if DNS is enabled
- Server (api.rs): Continue appending owndns=true to subscription links to enforce internal DNS logic on clients
- ostp-server/relay.rs: remove DNS port 53 interception — DNS queries
now pass through to the actual DNS server as regular TCP connections
- ostp-client/native_handler.rs (Windows): add explicit gateway/32 route
via real interface BEFORE setting default route via TUN to prevent loop
- ostp-client/native_handler.rs (Linux): properly detect real gateway and
add default route via TUN with metric 10 after server IP exclusion
- Remove redundant extra DNS host routes from Windows setup script
