 Replying to [comment:128 cypherpunks]:
 > How to reliably confirm/deny vendor of censorship box? It can be
 fortinet, cyberoam, bluecoat, something yet.

 In the past we got a report that changing the meek TLS signature would get
 through a Cyberoam firewall. If you can reproduce it with the Kazakh
 firewall, it would be another small piece of evidence.

 To try it, edit the file Browser\TorBrowser\Data\Tor\torrc-defaults and
 change the line
 {{{
 ClientTransportPlugin meek exec TorBrowser\Tor\PluggableTransports
 \terminateprocess-buffer TorBrowser\Tor\PluggableTransports\meek-client-
 torbrowser -- TorBrowser\Tor\PluggableTransports\meek-client
 }}}
 to
 {{{
 ClientTransportPlugin meek exec TorBrowser\Tor\PluggableTransports
 \terminateprocess-buffer TorBrowser\Tor\PluggableTransports\meek-client
 }}}
 Those are the lines for Windows, but other platforms are similar. Just
 remove the `meek-client-torbrowser --` part.
