This way +censors, who usually monitor traffic between the client and the bridge, +will see innocent-looking transformed traffic instead of the actual Tor +traffic. +.PP +obfs4proxy implements the obfuscation protocols obfs2, obfs3 and obfs4. +.PP +obfs4proxy is currently only supported as a managed pluggable transport +spawned as a helper process via the \fBtor\fR daemon. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR +Display usage information and exit. +.TP +\fB\-\-version\fR +Display version information and exit. +.TP +\fB\-\-enableLogging\fR +Enable logging. +.TP +\fB\-\-logLevel\fR=\fIlevel\fR +Specify the maximum log severity to log out of "\fBERROR\fR", "\fBWARN\fR", and +"\fBINFO\fR". +.TP +\fB\-\-unsafeLogging\fR +Disable the IP address scrubber when logging, storing personally identifiable +information in the logs. +.TP +\fB\-\-obfs4\-distBias\fR +When generating probability distributions for the obfs4 lenght and timing +obfuscation, generate biased distributions similar to ScrambleSuit. +.SH ENVIORNMENT +obfs4proxy honors all of the enviornment variables as specified in the Tor +Pluggable Transport Specification. +.SH FILES +.PP +\fIDataDirectory\fR\fB/pt_state/obfs4proxy.log\fR +.RS 4 +The log file, assuming logging is enabled. +.RE +.PP +\fIDataDirectory\fR\fB/pt_state/obfs4_state.json\fR +.RS 4 +The Bridge (server) auto-generated obfs4 bridge parameters file.
