Since the VPN layer supposedly hides all details of the traffic 
transported, *any* traffic you send out that doesn't cause much traffic 
back would do that.

However, outgoing traffic that does not cause *any* traffic back (like 
when sending into a blackhole or against a DROP rule) would IMHO look 
just as suspicious, and very *small* reply packets (like RSTs, FINs or 
ICMP when you knock on a REJECT rule) would too. And when you get above 
*that*, whoever runs the receiving server is likely to consider your 
traffic abusive.

"discard" servers (TCP+UDP port 9) have pretty much died out these days, 
some sort of file upload service would probably fit the bill best. You 
still shouldn't upload the same file over and over, or in regular 
intervals, though, if you want to fool the national censors.
