    MariaDB 10.x/11.4+
    Centmin Mod 123.09beta01 supports it, just it's a hidden setting for my use only for now i.e this forum has been using TCP Fast Open enabled Nginx for past 12+ months. There's a few easter eggs in 123.09beta01 for my personal usage only for now. Later maybe :)

    Understandably, there will always be tweaks and optimisations I keep to myself or my paid consulting clients ;)

    Chrome for example comes with that disabled. I don't see many people going to the flags enable it, so at this moment tcp open fast is irrelevant.

    Just to complete my previous information, TCP Fast Open isn't even available for Chrome in Windows. Only for Android, Linux and Chrome OS.

    I checked you are now using Sucuri in front of your server. Does the TCP Fast Open still works in that condition?

    But at least you are protected. I saw on some reviews that the WAF protection of Sucuri gives some false positives. You noticed that?
