Domain fronting seems like the stealthiest option to me (and if anyone has a 
reliable way to
detect domain fronting, I would love to hear about it!). But that doesn?t get 
you UDP (and NAT
traversal); perhaps VOIP/WebRTC mimicry could work?

I think this is a game you can't win against a suitably motivated adversary.  
Such an adversary can and will decode the payload to see if it makes sense.

For example: an apparently unencrypted VOIP/WebRTC stream, but one which contains 
"random" payload (i.e. which doesn't decode properly through the declared 
codec, or decodes to noise) may be interpreted as an encrypted phone call, and blocked on 
that basis alone, even if it's not obvious it contains data.

It would also be massively inefficient.  On the one hand, you'd have to send a 
stream of padding packets when there is no data to send, to look like an idle 
phone/video call.  On the other hand, when you *do* have data to send, you 
would have to constrain your bandwidth so you don't burst above a level of 
traffic which such a call would normally generate.

OK, so what about changing wireguard to use TCP and TLS on port 443? It's still going to 
look very anomolous compared to a "normal" web exchange.  Conceivably it might 
be mistaken for a websockets-based chat application or XMPP; but any adversary who wants 
to block wireguard is presumably going to want to block encrypted chat too.

In summary: I think wireguard is a tool for connecting together island 
networks, over an untrusted but cooperative intermediate network.  I don't 
think it should turn into a tool for steganography or policy busting.
