GoAgent, another open source circumvention tool in China, has been taken down
- bitinn 11y agoMy speculation: as Sep. 3rd, the massive military parade in Beijing draw closer, Chinese government appears to be knocking at open source developers' doors, asking for repo removal. This can be linked to previous takedown of shadowsocks, see this hacker news thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10101469 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10101469 Updated: and DDoS is an option too, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10115513 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10115513

Though it's now in a thousand different places with no clear maintainer.
