 The (optional) `obfs` option obfuscates the protocol using the provided password, so that it is not apparent that this
 is Hysteria/QUIC, which could be useful for bypassing DPI blocking or QoS. If the passwords of the server and client do
 not match, no connection can be established. Therefore, this can also serve as a simple password authentication. For
 more advanced authentication schemes, see `auth` below.

 Some users may attempt to forward other encrypted proxy protocols such as Shadowsocks with relay. While this technically
 works, it's not optimal from a performance standpoint - Hysteria itself uses TLS, considering that the proxy protocol
 being forwarded is also encrypted, and the fact that almost all sites are now using HTTPS, it essentially becomes triple

 如果服务端和客户端的密码不匹配就不能建立连接，因此这也可以作为一个简单的密码验证。对于更高级的验证方案请见下文 `auth`。
 
 `up_mbps` 和 `down_mbps` 限制服务器对每个客户端的最大上传和下载速度。这些也是可选的，如果不需要可以移除。
