Description
Current specification: https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-ietf-tls-esni/
Encrypted Client Hello removes a major source of information leakage when using TLS: the hostname. When combined with OCSP Must-Staple, the only information leaked over a TLS connection will be the source/dest IPs and traffic sizing (the latter of which can be mitigated with TLS 1.3's random padding). This offers a significant privacy improvement.
ECH has been implemented by Firefox, Cloudflare, H2O (in quictls), NSS, and BoringSSL.
ECH was previously known as ESNI (Encrypted SNI). The EFF promoted it in its Deeplinks blog: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2018/09/esni-privacy-protecting-upgrade-https

And firefox joins since version 118: https://support.mozilla.org/pl/kb/understand-encrypted-client-hello

+1 on this. We're very keen to roll out ECH for privacy and also as an anti-blocking mechanism.

Here seems to be an experimental EHC implementation for nginx, though I have not tested if it actually works:
https://github.com/sftcd/nginx/tree/ECH-experimental
Note that this likely requires an equally experimental ECH-enabled fork open OpenSSL:

Replying to hardfalcon@…:

Yeah. Rather than an experimental fork of OpenSSL, it's probably safer to use BoringSSL for now.

I've submitted an experimental patch to nginx-devel list that implements ECH with BoringSSL.
Source code fork with this patch is also available at https://github.com/yaroslavros/nginx/
Tested against current Chrome and Firefox.
google chrome 117 ships with ECH support (hiding under flag for now)
