Will HTTP/3 implementations in browsers use UDP ASSOCIATE? And is WireProxy going to support FullCone (endpoint independent NAT mapping and filtering, RFC 4787)?

Will HTTP/3 implementations in browsers use UDP ASSOCIATE?

This depends on what browser or what proxy plugin you're using on your browser. I haven't investigated this so I'll have to give it a look.

And is WireProxy going to support FullCone (endpoint independent NAT mapping and filtering, RFC 4787)?

Part of the challenge in supporting UDP proxying is picking a proper NAT mapping. Full-cone NAT is the easiest to implement so I might pick this one, but at the same time it can quickly exhaust ports if there are a lot of proxied UDP traffic from different ports. I think I'll implement full cone NAT first, see how it works out, and implement other NAT types if it proves to be insufficient.

And... When will UDP support arrive?

A mainstream program qBitTorrent supports µTP, which is a UDP based torrent protocol. You can set it to only accept µTP connections through connection settings, and try downloading something popular like Ubuntu.

Right now with wireproxy, setting it to µTP only with the SOCKS5 proxy set up stalls all torrents forever, it's a great way to test.
