How to properly deploy ECH in transparent proxy mode

Author: cuonglmCreated Jun 3, 2022Updated Jun 10, 2022

I have a TLS transparent proxy which works like this:

Client ==|TLS request|==> Proxy ==|HTTP Connect|==> Target 

I use https://github.com/inconshreveable/go-vhost to sniff SNI and construct the HTTP Connect request to the target site.

Now I want to add ECH support to my transparent proxy. But I stuck after getting the inner SNI:

tlsConn, _ := vhost.TLS(conn)
sconn := tls.Server(tlsConn, &tls.Config{
    ECHEnabled: true,
    ServerECHProvider: echProvider,
    Certificates: []tls.Certificate{cert},
})
sconn.Handshake()
sconn.ConnectionState().Servername // This is the inner SNI

IIUC, the proxy must tell the client to construct the new inner ClientHello, how can I archive that with the current crypto/tls API?
