Founder of Proxylity here. I'm happy to answer questions about how this works, why we built it, and where it is (and isn't) a good fit.

"Clients establish a DTLS 1.2 or DTLS 1.3 session with the Listener's assigned domain and port." "Every DTLS Listener receives a server certificate and private key managed by Proxylity." I don't get it. Why would anyone want to send all their private information unencrypted to your serverless server? "Get fired from your Organization for sending company or private data unencrypted to some random guys on the Internet" as a Service? Based on lossy UDP? ...What? Why would anyone do that? I don't get it.

Like. It’s already over the internet. If I have to send it unencrypted to you, why not just send it unencrypted to the destination? The cat’s already out of the bagel, so to speak.
