SS-OBFS: Shadowsocks with Obfuscation for Bypassing Censorship

SS-OBFS (Shadowsocks with Obfuscation) is a variant of the Shadowsocks protocol that uses obfuscation techniques to make it harder to detect and block. Obfuscation is the process of making something obscure or difficult to understand. In the context of Shadowsocks, obfuscation can be used to make it harder for network administrators or ISPs to recognize the traffic as Shadowsocks traffic and block it.

SS-OBFS works by adding an additional layer of encryption and obfuscation to the Shadowsocks traffic. This can be achieved by using a pre-configured obfuscation protocol, such as TLS or HTTP, or by customizing the obfuscation protocol to suit specific needs.

One of the benefits of using SS-OBFS is that it can help users bypass internet censorship and surveillance in countries where Shadowsocks is blocked or banned. However, it's important to note that SS-OBFS is not a foolproof solution and may not work in all situations. Additionally, using SS-OBFS may slow down the speed of the connection due to the additional layer of encryption and obfuscation.
