What's behind the MASQUE?
MASQUE brings VPN-like tunnelling capabilities to the HTTP ecosystem, enabling IP, UDP, TCP, and Ethernet connectivity over TLS-encrypted HTTP. This session explains the different MASQUE “flavours,” how they compare with traditional IPsec and WireGuard VPNs, and what practical deployment considerations arise when MASQUE is used for secure connectivity. Attendees will learn where MASQUE fits, what problems it solves well, and what trade-offs operators and implementers should consider.
