What Makes a Quality Anti-Detect Browser and Why Aurorium Built Its Own Solution
Aurorium has published a detailed technical overview explaining what constitutes a high-quality anti-detect browser and why the company developed its own solution despite an already saturated market.
The post begins by noting that while demand exists for tools that enable isolated browsing profiles, most available products either rely on outdated methods or fail to deliver reliable protection against modern anti-fraud systems.
Anti-detect browsers allow users to run multiple unique browser profiles on a single device, each with distinct fingerprints that prevent linkage by advertising networks, marketplaces, and other platforms.
Legitimate applications include QA testing, automated web scraping, OSINT investigations, regional SEO monitoring, and secure management of multiple accounts by digital agencies.
The article compares common alternatives and explains their limitations. Incognito mode only clears local data and does not alter hardware or software fingerprints, allowing anti-fraud systems to link sessions through device characteristics.
VirtualBox and VMWare introduce detectable artifacts such as specific video drivers and network adapter patterns that reveal the virtualized environment.
Extensions like SessionBox and Multi-Login isolate cookies but provide no fingerprint spoofing or network isolation, leaving all profiles identifiable as originating from the same device.
Two primary technical approaches to fingerprint spoofing are contrasted: superficial JS injection versus deep kernel-level modification. The former can be detected through timing attacks, prototype chain analysis, and checks on native code behavior.
Aurorium modifies the browser source code at the Blink and V8 engine level before compilation, enabling more consistent and harder-to-detect spoofing of Canvas, WebGL, and other subsystems.
Verification methods recommended in the article include testing with CreepJS and BrowserLeaks, dynamic iframe extraction, and Function.prototype.toString() validation.
The company argues that modern anti-fraud systems increasingly use behavioral analysis and machine learning, requiring not only technical fingerprint changes but also consistent, realistic profile configurations across all parameters.

Step-by-Step Guide to Removing Personal Data from Search Engines, Databases and Social Networks
The guide provides a practical seven-step checklist for individuals seeking to reduce their digital footprint by removing personal information from websites, search engines, and social platforms. It emphasizes starting with a 20-minute audit to compile exact URLs rather than vague requests, followed by direct contact with site owners under Russia's 152-FZ personal data law. Subsequent steps cover submissions to Yandex and Google for de-indexing, manual cleanup of old social media accounts, handling of phone numbers in caller ID services, and removal from directories and review sites. The process includes templates for formal requests, timelines for responses, and escalation paths to Roskomnadzor when operators fail to comply. Special attention is given to leaked databases, where technical removal is impossible, and to web archives such as Internet Archive that require specific legal justifications. The full cycle is estimated at two months, with quarterly maintenance recommended to sustain results.
telEgo Combines MTProxy and WEB Proxy on Single Port 443 with TLS Fronting
telEgo, a Go-based Telegram MTProxy implementation using the gnet network engine, now supports all four WEB proxy transport modes alongside traditional MTProxy connections on the same public port 443. The solution allows FakeTLS with ee secrets, Obfuscated2 with dd secrets, and WEB carriers including https, https-lanes, websocket, and websocket-lanes without requiring separate ports or secret changes. telEgo performs handshake detection, forwards ordinary TLS traffic to Nginx on a private port using PROXY protocol v2, and routes authenticated WEB streams back to the internal MTProxy backend. The setup uses Docker Compose with separate containers for telEgo, Nginx, and certificate management via Certbot, keeping ports 8080, 8443, and 8444 internal. Existing MTProxy links continue to function while new WEB proxy links become available for Telegram Desktop. The configuration supports Prometheus metrics, connection limits, and automatic certificate renewal through systemd timers.
From HAProxy to VLESS+Reality: Overcoming DPI Blocks for MTProto Telegram Proxies
A detailed case study describes the challenges of running an MTProto proxy for Telegram on Russian servers facing ISP-level DPI. Initial attempts using HAProxy TCP relays and SOCKS5 tunnels failed because modern DPI systems detect MTProto and fake-TLS signatures regardless of transparent forwarding. The author eventually succeeded by layering mtg with an Xray VLESS+Reality tunnel that performs genuine TLS 1.3 handshakes to legitimate domains. Key configuration pitfalls included the xtls-rprx-vision flow breaking non-TLS payloads, missing mux causing handshake timeouts on short-lived connections, and provider-specific network policies. Final architecture places mtg and an Xray client on the Russian entry server while the foreign exit server runs Xray in VLESS+Reality inbound mode. The guide supplies complete docker-compose examples, key generation commands, and a checklist of common misconfigurations to avoid.
TLS MITM and Throttling to 10 Mbps: Two Distinct Network Degradation Patterns Observed in Russia
Russian users have reported sudden slowdowns and instability on international connections over the past several days. Analysis of Tunnel Cat logs revealed two separate issues that produce similar user symptoms but require different diagnostic approaches. The first pattern involves successful TCP and TLS handshakes followed by sharp drops in throughput, often from 80 Mbps to 8-12 Mbps, consistent with DPI-based throttling of international traffic. The second pattern shows TLS certificate substitution on Windows systems, indicating active man-in-the-middle interception. Tunnel Cat now detects invalid certificates and terminates such sessions, yet the underlying network phenomena persist. The observations highlight the need to examine both bandwidth dynamics and certificate chains when troubleshooting connectivity problems from Russia.
