Thank you for the clarification. It seems I incorrectly assumed that extor-static-cookie was a wrapper for snowflake-proxy.

"To work around this problem, there is a shim called extor-static-cookie that presents an ExtORPort with a fixed, unchanging authentication key on a static port, and forwards the connections (again as ExtORPort) to tor, using that instance of tor's authentication key on an ephemeral port. One extor-static-cookie process is run per instance of tor, using ServerTransportPlugin and ServerTransportListenAddr."

Thanks, again.
