+1. Not to be rude, yet if someone finds this surprising and of interest, perhaps they need new interests.
This might not be the one for them - right now or ever. I'm not judging. Just saying.
To show how serious I am, I'll do my own version of the paper while laying in bed relying solely on experience. I'm joking in case that wasn't obvious.
Off-the-bottom-shelf consumer equipment from over fifteen years ago would report on this traffic.
OpenVPN has been easy to both USE and fingerprint - these are directly related. It will continue to be. The balance OVPN struck makes it extremely commodity. This is all well/good.
As far as things can really have goals... it never aimed to be the fingerprint resistant answer. It's the commodity VPN supported by nearly everything.
To be frank: it achieved the goal of obfuscation; you see OpenVPN instead of the real traffic. The horror.
Everything everywhere is a trade. This trades fingerprint resistance for ubiquity.
I'm slowly starting to understand how things get criticized for being "academic".
They have a lot of people, words, and effort confirming things any living practitioner could tell you. That's why I may seem harsh.
I'm left to determine this is propaganda or marketing fodder. Any protocol or scheme is prone to fingerprinting. That's the game.
Fingerprinting is a question of attention/want, and they picked the most obvious one. Why? I'm asking and looking suspiciously at several unnecessary named authors.
