About obfs-server -r option

[jerrylzy]

I tried to use obfs-server but it only prints out usage information.
Then I ran this program in gdb and found that if -r option is not specified, this program will simply print out a usage message.

In /src/server.c,

// line 1127
        ...
        case 'r':
            dst_addr_str = optarg;
            break;
        ...

//  line 1234
    if (server_num == 0 || server_port == NULL || dst_addr_str == NULL) {
        usage();
        exit(EXIT_FAILURE);
    }

However, I didn't find any useful information in the man page. Also I can hardly tell what this option means from the usage string:

-r : Forward traffic to this remote server address.

BTW, can I pair obfs-local with an older ss-libev on the client side? Like does the aforementioned combination work with the latest ss-libev with obfs enabled on the server side?

See the updated example section in the README

Yes, you can.

Yes, exactly.

Thanks. It's working well with ss-server 2.6.0.
