Tor doesn't work most of the time. Not sure about obfsproxy. Here is some reasons why I think Tor is not successful:
+ GFW is very aggressive at detecting these traffic and is okay with false positive.
+ A very very large portion of the population lacks basic skill to setup Tor or similar tools. CS education is almost non-exist or useless if you are not a college student with CS major.
+ Doesn't have good mobile support, especially on iOS.
+ Slow and not stable. Those who know how to set these up, like myself, would probably prefer a more reliable tunnel, e.g. shadowsocks/cisco anyconnect.
