v4.38.3

Feature

• FakeDNS: Added fakedns+others sniffer , based on #697 . Thanks @yuhan6665 .
• TLS: A SECURITY improvement that allow the remote peer's TLS certificate to be pinned to a known value. Document for TLS is updated.
• Observatory: A component that measure the connectivity of selected outbounds. The document for Observatory is updated.
• Routing : leastPing balancing strategy is added. This strategy will select a outbound that is alive and completed HTTPS GET request in the least time. The document for Routing is updated.

Fixs

• Fixed crashing in fake dns. #931 Thanks @IceCodeNew
• Added IPv6 pool in fake dns by default. #925 Thanks @Loyalsoldier
• Return ErrEmptyResponse for fakedns. #926 Thanks @sixg0000d
• Fixed UDP DNS connection cause crash. Thanks @nekohasekai
• Multi-json support for observatory, browser forwarder. #944 Thanks @ha-ku @AkinoKaede

Chore

• Fixed two typo in comments. Thanks @U-v-U

Security Advisory

• TLS connections with dangerous diagnose option allowInsecure turn on and without certificate pin with pinnedPeerCertificateChainSha256 will not be able protect your data at all from a attacker in privileged network path(for example ISP or any firewall or censorship infrastructure). This is especially dangerous when an unprotected protocol or option is used, such as any VLess configuration, VMess with none or zero security, and any trojan configuration, in which case your data is accessible to attacker in plain text and attacker can inject arbitrary data pretending to the the remote server. In the case of VLess and trojan, the proxy protocol access control credential is also exposed to the attacker, the attacker will be able to use your proxy. You are advised to use certificate pin (and/or other security features provided in a later version of V2Ray) whenever allowInsecure is turned on. Attempting to MITM your connection temporarily to identify TLS based proxy is a known threat.
