How to verify if obfs-local is working client-side (and server-side)?

[tenyuhuang]

This is a question rather than an issue -

Version(release version or AppVeyor link)

4.0.6

Environment(Operating system, .NET Framework, etc)

Windows 7 x64

Steps you have tried

Deploy the server-side with obfs-server that doesn't give information about whether it is really obfuscating the packages or not, with the only sign being some warnings when disconnected;

Deploy the client with simple-obfs-cygwin (local), that doesn't give anything in log besides "Started SIP003 plugin for [redacted] on 127.0.0.1:57593 - PID: 9504", either.

Since the server can be connected even if obfs is not working, there's no indication it's doing its job or not...

What did you expect to see?

See verbose outputs from obfs-local to make sure it's working?

Thanks a ton in advance!

check resource monitor in task manager,If you can see obfs-local.exe progress and network connection in Network Activity,Then obfs-local.exe is working.

Thanks a lot!
Still, it might be better if there's something like logging or console output ;D

It is controlled by the plugin itself

On shadowsocks-libev server side, simple-obfs console outputs are integrated. - That kind of integration could be great!
