How to use obfsproxy with openvpn web access server ?
Hello i am a bit newbie to this community. I want to setup a VPN that workd in china. In china openVPN handshakes are being blocked, people are using obfsproxy to cloak their traffic and bypass restriction.
I have installed web access server from open VPN. I followed below steps but after rebooting my server hangs i tired turning power off and on still does not work. Here is what i did.

create a new droplet

apt-get update

Login to web interface.
go to Server Network Settings change protocol to tcp on 443
Obfs proxy -> http://safesrv.net/setup-openvpn-with-obfsproxy-on-ubuntu/
sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list
my version is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS (Trusty Tahr)
deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org trusty main
ctrl+x and save as same name
gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv 886DDD89
apt-get update
apt-get install deb.torproject.org-keyring
apt-get install obfsproxy
sudo nano /etc/rc.local
add line below this above to exit 0 line.

    don't put the line to start the obfsproxy server into /etc/rc.local until you know it works
    instead do it manually, and specify --log-min-severity=debug
    and you should have it as
    server 104.236.130.91:21194

    assume you mean server side
    (obfsproxy is listening on 21194)
    (openvpn tcp is listening on 443)

    This might help

don't put the text into /etc/rc.local until you know it works

instead do it manually and specify
--log-min-severity=debug
also its
server 104.236.130.91:21194

I can confirm openvpn-AS works fine on digitalocean with scramblesuit obfsproxy
