[tor-dev] Future pluggable/lib obfus transport?

[David Stainton]

I don't understand the question.
Obfsproxy can be used in external mode or with
tor in managed mode. In external mode it can
be used to obfuscate other types of traffic like ssh etc.
There is no automatic negotiation of obfuscation PTs.
