 Replying to [comment:1 dcf]:
 >  * A first segment of 1­–15 bytes doesn't work.
 >  * A first segment of 16 bytes works.
 >  * A first segment of 16 bytes works also for unobfuscated Tor TLS.
 >  * A first segment of 17 bytes works.
 >  * A first segment of 32 bytes works.

 >  * A first segment of 128 bytes doesn't work.

 On 2016-11-11 kzblocked reported that something had changed on at least
 some of the DPI boxes in Kazakhstan. A first segment of 16 to 32 bytes
 doesn't work anymore. The detection seems to happen more often now,
 sometimes even before a Tor circuit is built.
