Hm, is Wireguard getting blocked by middleboxes or something?

Sometimes yes. MASQUE just looks like normal TLS port 443 traffic so it's less likely to be prevented. Other issues we had were just bugs with the WARP wireguard implementation regarding how the tunnel is built in Windows. I imagine it works better on Linux or MacOS which is likely what the developers were running when they designed WARP.
Depends. MASQUE implies QUIC and a lot of coporate networks still block QUIC, forcing a fallback to TCP (for web browsers).

Not sure how they want to address this in case of WARP?

Nevertheless, MASQUE is some pretty exciting development in the network space.

Ah that's tough because Wireguard being UDP is a selling point for us at Firezone
