What is the difference between Shadowsocks and VLESS Reality when facing blocks?

SHADOWSOCKS TURNS PACKETS INTO WHITE NOISE, WHILE VLESS REALITY DISGUISES TRAFFIC AS A REGULAR WEBSITE.
Legacy Shadowsocks makes data streams completely random, which is easily detected by DPI filters via entropy. The VLESS combination with Reality borrows a digital certificate and handshake fingerprint from a real, popular portal.

Principles of Hiding Packet Structure

Deep Packet Inspection systems have learned to recognize pure random noise: if a port carries a stream of bytes without standard service headers, ISP automation drops the connection. Reality solves this fundamentally differently: instead of inventing unique encryption, it fully replicates legitimate TLS traffic from a browser accessing a major white-list web resource.
