-DEPRECATED FEATURE - TO BE REMOVED END OF 2022-03-31 LATEST
-
-Note that "Tunnelblick" is a controversial option.
-It is included for compatibility, not enabled by default,
-and should only be used with due consideration, and it should not
-replace proper cryptography use in OpenVPN.
-
-Note that this patch does NOT add documentation for the new --scramble
-option, neither to the --help output, nor the manual page.
-
-Please see this website for a more detailed discussion:
-https://tunnelblick.net/cOpenvpn_xorpatch.html
-
-The essence is that there are alternatives proposed that can avoid
-this patch:
-
-The OpenVPN developers "do not encourage people building their own
-versions of OpenVPN changing the wire-protocol like this, without the
-patch being through a proper patch review and having evaluated possible
-security risks related to such a change.
-  And we especially discourage using such an approach when there exists
-a far better solution, used by the TOR community. It is called obfsproxy
-and can be used together with OpenVPN without needing any re-compilation
-of OpenVPN."
