Suggestion: add traffic obfuscation or traffic camouflage function

This prevents censorship and broken links

Agree, that would be great. There is an XOR patch that obfuscates OpenVPN connection, but it is quite an old approach and probably not effective anymore. Moreover, it doesn't work with the latest DCO drivers. BTW, if a user uses OpenVPN connection without XOR patch or any other obfuscation approach, can man-in-the-middle (like censorship) intercept OpenVPN connection parameters (like server IP address) and block the VPN server?

I'm in China, I'm using openvpn udp protocol, then the server IP was blocked, and once the port was blocked, and I could only connect by changing the port, I suspect openvpn traffic was detected.
