The proxy _is_ pretty nasty design. Basically every time `golang` fetches modules, it uses Google's proxy out of the box.
This lets Google collect very granular data on who uses which modules, and also makes it opaque to webmasters who's using their services (it's all hidden behind google). It's honestly pretty nasty how Google has hidden this kind of "analytics" within a pretty dark grey area.
At the same time, the bot that handles the proxy seems to crawl everything, very often, and excessively, effectively DDOS'ing anyone hosting go modules.
