The idea behind domain fronting is to make blacklisting unfeasible. It's kind of like Zello changing IP addresses, except you also happen to share those IP addresses with a lot of popular internet services.
So, in order to block domain fronting the government would have to pressure a whole bunch of large foreign corporations with CDNs to patch their tech to forbid domain fronting.
- SXX 9y agoNo, they wouldn't need to pressure anyone. They'll just ban whole subnets of CDNs that are not used by any services popular in Russia. And cloud providers and CDNs that have large customers from Russia will just give up like Amazon just did. After all it's just a business for them and they not going to lose clients just to fight against censorship.
