Thanks, Jason!

SNI is not encrypted in TLS 1.3 and this code works with TLS 1.3.

There is ongoing work to add encrypted SNI to TLS <https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-esni-07>. The proposal explicitly supports SNI-based proxying. The proxy server would operate as the "provider", receive the encrypted Client Hello, decrypt it, and forward the connection along to the backend, without seeing the plaintext of the connection. This is the "split mode topology" shown on page 4.
