Description: Obfs4 is an obfuscation protocol designed to circumvent DPI-based censorship. It incorporates ideas and concepts from Philipp Winter's ScrambleSuit protocol. The obfs naming was chosen primarily because it was shorter. In terms of protocol ancestery obfs4 is much closer to ScrambleSuit than obfs2/obfs3. Information on ScrambleSuit can be found here: https://www.cs.kau.se/philwint/scramblesuit/

I won't be able to connect to Tor in China without this package. Would it be okay to get this one included?

Tor is useless without obfs4proxy in countries where Government blocks free Internet (Where the tor is actually needed more!)
