Xue et al. pointed out the problem of encapsulated TLS handshakes in Fingerprinting Obfuscated Proxy Traffic
with Encapsulated TLS Handshakes, whereby censors can look at the size and direction of the first few TCP packets to detect whether a TLS-in-TLS handshake is happening, indicating proxied TLS traffic. We pad the first few frames on a stream opening (up to 239 bytes) to mitigate this.
