In many parts of the world, censors are continuously increasing their capacity to fingerprint, identify, and block censorship resistance tools to maintain control over what can and can not be accessed over the Internet. In response, traffic replacement, which involves co-opting a steady stream of uncensored overt traffic to serve as a perfect cover for censored covert content, has been developed in an effort to provide undetectable access to the open Internet for those in censored regions. Despite the promise of this technique, creating a suitable stream of uncensored overt traffic that is high throughput, fingerprint and identification resistant, and does not overburden the user to generate, is an underexplored area that is critical to traffic replacement's success.
