IIUC there is no such feature in the Electrum protocol (as of today). |

I don't see any sane way to do it. Tunnels are fine IMO, we just need better support from integrators (yes, that includes myself). |

could this be achieved with an electrum server behind a proxy that requires username/password? |

That's been my thinking as well, but I'm not sure how to accomplish that with a protocol that relies on raw TCP connections. If this was an HTTP server I could pass something into the headers, but is that even possible with TCP? |

The only way is to use some kind of tunneling - VPN, SSH, Tor, or whatever else you can think of. We have some of them documented. I personally use SSH tunnel because it's simple and supports key authentication - no passwords, every client gets its own key. If you're worried about race conditions and such use a private network namespace in Linux (IDK what about other OSes). |
