**Executive Summary:** Cloudflare rebuilt the Cloudflare One Client's local proxy mode to use QUIC (HTTP/3 CONNECT) and MASQUE streams rather than converting TCP to WireGuard L3 packets via smoltcp, which removes the smoltcp performance ceiling and enables native QUIC congestion/flow control and tunability; internal tests show roughly doubled upload/download speeds and significantly reduced latency, and the update is available starting with client version 2025.8.779.0 with dashboard configuration steps provided.
