[tor-talk] Does obfsproxy make any sense for relays

[MacLemon]

Hi!

I was wondering if building tor with obfsproxy would make any sense for a relay. The documentation suggests that obfsproxy is rather exclusive for bridges yet isn’t absolutely clear about that.

The only scenario I can fabricate is someone blocking tor by DPI, being confident that they can block any tor traffic and subsequently doesn’t bother to explicitly block relay IPs anymore. Doesn’t seem too realistic to me.

Would it hurt to implement obfsproxy into a relay?

Thanks in advance!
