Comment (by cypherpunks):

 By the way as far as I know the `meek` that you're seeing there has become
 more and more coupled to the Tor Browser, and for those who want to use
 `meek` the way to go would be to use `meek_lite` which is an
 implementation provided in `obfs4proxy` of `meek` (I think OnionShare uses
 that?). You can make your own torrc file and put it somewhere and follow
 the instructions given here for setting it up:
 https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-talk/2017-December/043850.html

 Note that it's a different implementation so the network fingerprint will
 surely not match that of the standard `meek` if I'm not mistaken.
