A couple decades ago I did SSH over DNS at the request of a client. It was pretty fun, worked surprisingly well. At the time, exactly zero firewalls stopped it.

I used to use iodine, a tunneling server which uses DNS as the transport, which would work even through captive portals at the time.

Most tunnel protocols are UDP these days, vxlan, geneve, wireguard etc... Just because it doesn't guarantee delivery, meaning you don't get the retransmit amplification you'd get with TCP over TCP.
