- PakG1 10y agoThis comment explains better than I can as to why that doesn't matter. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13268819 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13268819 Essentially, if a local regional player (or a foreign player who complies with their laws) can compete to take the place of whatever domain they block, why can't they block any or all domains used for domain fronting? The cat and mouse game becomes irrelevant if local companies become relevant.
