Re: [tor-relays] Dropping packets with TCP MSS=1400 to foil GFW active probing

Interesting. Is there any reason to not use an obfuscated bridge?

China doesn't dynamically probe obfs4 bridges. (More precisely: they may
try to probe, but the probes don't result in blocks for obfs4.) They
only block obfs4 bridges whose addresses they learn in other ways. The
MSS=1400 trick works, the authors report, even for non-obfuscated
bridges.
