Hi Eric,

In TLS 1.2, it is possible for firewalls to inspect the TLS handshake, and 
white-list, black-list and grey-list TLS session based on the server identity. 
In other words, middleboxes are conditionally acting as TLS proxies to specific 
servers (categorized in the grey-list).
With TLS 1.3 and encrypted SNI, the middle box now has to act as a TLS proxy 
for all the flows.

It would be most useful not to conflate TLS 1.3 and ESNI.

In ordinary TLS 1.3, the SNI is in the clear but the server cert is not. 
However, importantly, even in TLS 1.2, the server certificate is not 
verifiable, and therefore is not significantly more trustworthy than SNI.

[TR] Middle boxes have a trust store (e.g. downloaded from Mozilla CA store) to 
validate the server certificate.  Malwares lie about SNI (typically use a FQDN 
whose reputation score is good), validating the server certificate (e.g. 
certain types of malwares  use self-signed certificates) and SNI mismatch helps 
detect the client is lying.

With ESNI, the SNI is encrypted (hence the name). However, the xpectation is 
that enterprises which want to do conditional inspection will disable ESNI on 
the client. This should not be problematic as they already need access to the 
client to install their own trust anchor.

[TR] I see Firefox has given an option to disable ESNI, hopefully others will 
provide a configurable option.

Cheers,

i wonder if everyone here knows that TLS 1.3 and encrypted headers is
going to push a SOCKS agenda onto enterprises that had not previously
needed one,

I'm pretty familiar with TLS 1.3, but I don't know what this means. TLS 1.3
doesn't generally encrypt headers any more than TLS 1.2 did, except for
the content type byte, which isn't that useful for inspection anyway.
Are you perchance referring to encrypted SNI? Something else?

-Ekr

and that simply blocking every external endpoint known or
tested to support DoH will be the cheaper alternative, even if that
makes millions of other endpoints at google, cloudflare, cisco, and ibm
unreachable as a side effect?

CF has so far only supported DoH on 1.1.1.0/24<http://1.1.1.0/24> and 
1.0.1.0/24<http://1.0.1.0/24>, which i
blocked already (before DoH) so that's not a problem. but if google
decides to support DoH on the same IP addresses and port numbers that
are used for some API or web service i depend on, that web service is
going to be either blocked, or forced to go through SOCKS. this will add
considerable cost to my network policy. (by design.)
