VLC Banned in India?
- chaxor 4y agoThere are quite a few articles alleging that VLC contains 'malware', or 'chinese hacker urls'. I know the software is available on gitlab (although they typically ignore pull requests). Has anyone spun up VLC in a VM and monitored the attempts for network access to check any of this? I imagine that if any group would get to the bottom of this, it would be HN.
- ohiovr 4y agoI'm not up on the latest but a long time ago someone purchased a similar domain or a better domain than the original developers and they cooked their own version that had bad ingredients.
