Research direction

Start by reviewing sshuttle’s existing UDP handling and the referenced mullvad/udp-over-tcp project to determine whether they can be integrated. Define the required client and server behavior, then confirm that UDP traffic can be transported through a TCP port without breaking sshuttle’s existing forwarding; done means a concrete implementation plan with tests and documented limitations.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

There is this cool project by mullvad https://github.com/mullvad/udp-over-tcp which allows for UDP to be trafficked through a TCP port, and for the server to listen to that TCP port and go back to UDP. It's used to obfuscated the wireguard protocol from simple firewalls that block the UDP traffic.

So, I was wondering if sshuttle could somehow be made to use this project to handle everything relating to UDP?
