Sigil Gate Project Blog

Our financial operator announced an account freeze — so I decided to honestly calculate what the project actually costs. Spoiler: cheaper than it seems.

The /trial command is up and running: a guest gets a link, a QR code, and an hour of open internet. Here’s how it works under the hood.

The story of how I lost my VPN in the November wave of blockings — and what it taught me about the nature of DPI: behavioral patterns are more dangerous than any vulnerability in the protocol itself.

I never finished most of my projects. But this one won’t end up on the shelf.

The project bot gets a new life: from a technical publishing tool to a full-featured interface for network users.

Automating user and device management, changes to the data storage system, and the idea of trial access via a Telegram bot.

The ice has broken: an automation scripts repository is up, the architecture is in place, and the first scenario — adding client devices — is already working.

The technical side of the project hasn’t been standing still — I structured the data, chose storage formats, and laid the groundwork for future automation.

I barely launched a Telegram channel before they started throttling Telegram. A story about news aging faster than I can write about it.

The taxonomy is a consequence. Behind it lies something more serious: the project’s content strategy.
