Description Rastus Vernon 2016-04-30 04:46:52 UTC
Hello, this is a wishlist item.

Tor can be used with pluggable transports like obfs4 to obfuscate the fact that one is using Tor and get around firewalls that try to detect Tor usage.[1][2] obfs4 is the most interesting one in general, suggested by default by the Tor browser bundle when configuring bridges.

Debian packages obfsproxy[3] and obfs4proxy[4], but they are not available in Fedora.

This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 25 development cycle.
Changing version to '25'.

Comment 2 Hedayat Vatankhah 2017-09-29 22:15:05 UTC
Bug #1497356 is an attempt to package obfs4 for Fedora.

Comment 3 Marcel Haerry 2017-10-02 04:03:08 UTC
Given obfs4 was now accepted into Fedora, we should be able to close this, right?
