how can they detect it is wireguard, I thought the traffic is encrypted?

how does it differ from regular TLS 1.3 traffic?

It's UDP, not TCP (like TLS) and has a distinguishable handshake. Wireguard is not designed as a censorship prevention tool, it's purely a networking solution.

The tunnel itself is encrypted, but the tunnel creation and existence is not obfuscated.
