Hysteria 2.9 adds P2P NAT hole punching

The latest release of Hysteria, a high-performance censorship-resistant proxy, introduces "Realms" to enable peer-to-peer connectivity via NAT hole punching. This allows users to host servers without public IPs or port forwarding, dramatically simplifying self-hosting for users on restricted cellular or home networks.

// ANALYSIS

Hysteria 2.9’s "Realms" feature is a significant architectural shift that democratizes high-speed, censorship-resistant proxying by removing the requirement for a public IP or dedicated VPS. The custom QUIC protocol ensures superior throughput on lossy networks, while ephemeral, distributed P2P nodes increase resistance to traditional IP-based blacklisting. The rapid release of version 2.9.1 to stabilize the punching mechanism signals strong active maintenance.
