About:
Simple-obfs is a lightweight obfuscation plugin designed for shadowsocks-libev to bypass network filtering and deep packet inspection. It works by transforming traffic to look like legitimate HTTPS or HTTP traffic, effectively evading active probing and censorship. This tool provides a simple yet effective way to enhance the privacy and accessibility of your encrypted connections.
Key Features:
  • Lightweight and minimal overhead
  • Disguises traffic as HTTPS or HTTP
  • Bypasses DPI (Deep Packet Inspection)
  • Easy integration with shadowsocks-libev
Use Cases:
  • Circumventing government or ISP-level firewalls
  • Protecting network traffic from active probing and detection
  • Accessing restricted content on restrictive networks
Alternatives:
  • v2ray-plugin – More feature-rich and supports multiple protocols like WebSocket and gRPC, but is more complex to configure.
  • cloak-plugin – Focuses on mimicking legitimate TLS traffic to appear as a standard website, offering robust anti-censorship.
