Problem with obfs2
Got a problem with Viscosity or need help? Ask here!
Hello! I'm having trouble connecting to OpenVPN using obfs2. Obfs2 requires a shared-key on the server, but it cannot be specified in the Viscosity client. I also tried to make obfs2 run via bat script before connecting:
START "Obfs" C:\obfsproxy\obfsproxy.exe obfs2 --shared-key ... --dest ... client 127.0.0.1:2022
The problem is that Viscosity does not connect to the server until obfsproxy running.
How can I fix this problem?
START "Obfs" C:\obfsproxy\obfsproxy.exe obfs2 --shared-key ... --dest ... client 127.0.0.1:2022
The problem is that Viscosity does not connect to the server until obfsproxy running.
How can I fix this problem?
Hi diman,
I'm afraid obfs2 and obfs3 don't support shared-secrets within Viscosity, we recommend updating to scamblesuit or obfs4 if you wish to use a shared secret.
If your only option is obfs2 and you need a shared secret, you can start your version of obfsproxy manually and then set your client address (i.e. 127.0.0.1, port 2022) in Viscosity as a SOCKS proxy in the Transport tab.
We'll investigate if we can add shared-secret support to the older obfs protocols in a future release.

Eric

At the moment, the only option for me is obfs2. And I wanted to add shared-secret to it.
Can I make obfsproxy start automatically when I connect to VPN? I tried to implement a script that would do this, but the problem is that Viscosity waits for obfsproxy to complete before connecting to the server.

Hi diman,
Using the Batch Start command will launch obfsproxy without waiting before the batch script continues. For e.g.
start "C:\path\to\obfsproxy" obfs2 .....
