Hi, It was recently suggested [1] that Tails [2] should include sniffjoke [3], persumably to uncensor Tor in places where that is a problem: Jacob Appelbaum wrote: > Adding sniff joke may be quite useful and it should be an option: > http://www.delirandom.net/sniffjoke/ (Jacob is especially welcome to elaborate on this statement in this thread.) From my understanding, it may make sense to have sniffjoke obfuscate the connection to Tor bridges when behind a firewall that can detect bridge usage (e.g. like in China [4][5]). But only if it actually defeats the DPI:ing firewall (which is unclear to me whether it is the case in e.g. China). Has any one got experiences with Tor + sniffjoke in places where DPI:ing firewalls are messing with Tor? But what about obfsproxy [6]? This seems like the planned Tor sanctioned way for solving this problem. How is this project coming along, and when can we expect to see this ready for action? I assume things like Vidalia integration planned(?). Cheers!
