Specify hostname in client mode about chisel

[connesc]

Note that eliminating the DNS query has no security benefit since the hostname is always sent as clear text anyway (either HTTP headers or SNI for HTTPS).

Also, for the other point, I guess that this is a rather unusual use case. I would suggest to either configure custom entries in /etc/hosts or setup a local DNS server like dnsmasq.

Thanks for the reply. My case is really unusual, and I can use different location to proxy to different chisel backend in nginx config. Maybe It's better to keep the tool simple and easy. 🙂

This sounds like a good idea.
What's more, this setup allows to actually hide your chisel endpoints by adding SSL/TLS. 😉

An alternative reason for this feature would be to support Domain-Fronting as a way to evade detection by certain countries (China).
