 **Telemt** is a fast, secure, and feature-rich server written in Rust: it fully implements the official Telegram proxy algo and adds many production-ready improvements such as connection pooling, replay protection, detailed statistics, masking from "prying" eyes
 
+## Emergency
+**Важное сообщение для пользователей из России**
+
+Мы работаем над проектом с Нового года и сейчас готовим новый релиз - 1.2
+
+В нём имплементируется поддержка Middle Proxy Protocol - основного терминатора для Ad Tag:
+работа над ним идёт с 6 ферваля, а уже 10 февраля произошли "громкие события"...
+
+Если у вас есть компетенции в асинхронных сетевых приложениях - мы открыты к предложениям и pull requests
+
+**Important message for users from Russia**
+
+We've been working on the project since December 30 and are currently preparing a new release – 1.2
+
+It implements support for the Middle Proxy Protocol – the primary point for the Ad Tag:
+development on it started on February 6th, and by February 10th, "big activity" in Russia had already "taken place"...
+
+If you have expertise in asynchronous network applications – we are open to ideas and pull requests!
+
+# Features
+💥 The configuration structure has changed since version 1.1.0.0, change it in your environment!
+
+⚓ Our implementation of **TLS-fronting** is one of the most deeply debugged, focused, advanced and *almost* **"behaviorally consistent to real"**:  we are confident we have it right - [see evidence on our validation and traces](#recognizability-for-dpi-and-crawler)

 ## FAQ
+### Recognizability for DPI and crawler
+Since version 1.1.0.0, we have debugged masking perfectly: for all clients without "presenting" a key, 
+we transparently direct traffic to the target host!
+
+- We consider this a breakthrough aspect, which has no stable analogues today
+- Based on this: if `telemt` configured correctly, **TLS mode is completely identical to real-life handshake + communication** with a specified host
+- Here is our evidence:
+    - 212.220.88.77 - "dummy" host, running `telemt`
+    - `petrovich.ru` - `tls` + `masking` host, in HEX: `706574726f766963682e7275`
+    - **No MITM + No Fake Certificates/Crypto** = pure transparent *TCP Splice* to "best" upstream: MTProxy or tls/mask-host:
+      - DPI see legitimate HTTPS to `tls_host`, including *valid chain-of-trust* and entropy
+      - Crawlers completely satisfied receiving responses from `mask_host`
+  #### Client WITH secret-key accesses the MTProxy resource:
+  
+  <img width="360" height="439" alt="telemt" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/39352afb-4a11-4ecc-9d91-9e8cfb20607d" />
+  
+  #### Client WITHOUT secret-key gets transparent access to the specified resource:
+    - with trusted certificate
+    - with original handshake
+    - with full request-response way
+    - with low-latency overhead

-//! Bidirectional Relay
+//! Bidirectional Relay — poll-based, no head-of-line blocking
+//!
+//! ## What changed and why
+//!
+//! Previous implementation used a single-task `select! { biased; ... }` loop
+//! where each branch called `write_all()`. This caused head-of-line blocking:
+//! while `write_all()` waited for a slow writer (e.g. client on 3G downloading
+//! media), the entire loop was blocked — the other direction couldn't make progress.
+//!
+//! Symptoms observed in production:
+//! - Media loading at ~8 KB/s despite fast server connection
+//! - Stop-and-go pattern with 50–500ms gaps between chunks
+//! - `biased` select starving S→C direction
+//! - Some users unable to load media at all
+//!
+//! ## New architecture
+//!
+//! Uses `tokio::io::copy_bidirectional` which polls both directions concurrently
+//! in a single task via non-blocking `poll_read` / `poll_write` calls:
+//!
+//! Old (select! + write_all — BLOCKING):
+//!
+//!   loop {
+//!       select! {
+//!           biased;
+//!           data = client.read()  => { server.write_all(data).await; }  ← BLOCKS here
+//!           data = server.read()  => { client.write_all(data).await; }  ← can't run
+//!       }
+//!   }
+//!
+//! New (copy_bidirectional — CONCURRENT):
+//!
+//!   poll(cx) {
+//!       // Both directions polled in the same poll cycle
+//!       C→S: poll_read(client) → poll_write(server)   // non-blocking
+//!       S→C: poll_read(server) → poll_write(client)   // non-blocking
+//!       // If one writer is Pending, the other direction still progresses
+//!   }
+//!
+//! Benefits:
+//! - No head-of-line blocking: slow client download doesn't block uploads
+//! - No biased starvation: fair polling of both directions
+//! - Proper flush: `copy_bidirectional` calls `poll_flush` when reader stalls,
+//!   so CryptoWriter's pending ciphertext is always drained (fixes "stuck at 95%")
+//! - No deadlock risk: old write_all could deadlock when both TCP buffers filled;
+//!   poll-based approach lets TCP flow control work correctly
+//!
+//! Stats tracking:
+//! - `StatsIo` wraps client side, intercepts `poll_read` / `poll_write`
+//! - `poll_read` on client = C→S (client sending) → `octets_from`, `msgs_from`
+//! - `poll_write` on client = S→C (to client)     → `octets_to`, `msgs_to`
+//! - `SharedCounters` (atomics) let the watchdog read stats without locking

+// ============= Relay =============
+
+/// Relay data bidirectionally between client and server.
+///
+/// Uses `tokio::io::copy_bidirectional` for concurrent, non-blocking data transfer.
+///
+/// ## API compatibility
+///
+/// Signature is identical to the previous implementation. The `_buffer_pool`
+/// parameter is retained for call-site compatibility — `copy_bidirectional`
+/// manages its own internal buffers (8 KB per direction).
+///
+/// ## Guarantees preserved
+///
+/// - Activity timeout: 30 minutes of inactivity → clean shutdown
+/// - Per-user stats: bytes and ops counted per direction
+/// - Periodic rate logging: every 10 seconds when active
+/// - Clean shutdown: both write sides are shut down on exit
+/// - Error propagation: I/O errors are returned as `ProxyError::Io`
