Comment (by cypherpunks):

 > Did you mean that outside of kz, you saw the same weird server TCP
 options MSS=1351,NOP,NOP,NOP,EOL?

 Yes, this and weird acks, it's all about vpn transport to box. The same
 software (server and client side) was tested outside of kz and shows the
 same weirdness but no traffic to/from obfs4 with 80 port was
 blocked/stalled. It's independence weirdness, actual blockage happens
 silently.
