OpenVPN
Please produce "scramble edition" version again
Is it possible to produce "scramble edition" releases again? The last one was 2.3.10 version with such feature.
Not sure what you are referring to. There are no "scramble edition" releases.
If you are referring to a release that is not an "official" OpenVPN community edition, this is the wrong place to ask about it. Otherwise post of a link to the release.
I believe I found what is it. It is a compiled version with scramble option for users in countries where VPN is banned: China, Iran etc. The option could be obtained using this patch: https://github.com/clayface/openvpn_xorpatch So the question is: does community care about users in these countries?

@gjf we've had discussions about obfuscation ("scrambling") support on the openvpn-devel mailing list several times in the past. We've always agreed that we do not want to start playing a cat-and-mouse game with in countries that ban VPN: we simply don't have the resources for it. Also, none of the core OpenVPN developers live in those countries, and thus don't have a personal interest in obfuscation.
So we have agreed that the cat-and-mouse game should be played by a dedicated team/project that actually has an interest in winning it. That dedicated team could produce unofficial OpenVPN installers/packages that include obfuscation patches or integrate other obfuscation tools such as obfsproxy which can be integrated with OpenVPN. So far such a team/project has not materialized.
Also, many commercial (Open)VPN providers do play that game on behalf of their customers. I don't want to endorse any provider, but they are out there.
