- ignoramous 1y agoAu contraire, it is usually developers of Chinese origin that build some of the widely used anti-censorship techniques & protocols. Ironically, it was American companies that sold firewall tech to the CCP: https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/us-internet-providers-and-great-firewall-china https://www.cfr.org/backgrounder/us-internet-providers-and-g...
- ladyanita22 1y agoI don't think the issue is about the developers being Chinese at all. I think the problem comes mainly from the CCP having direct power to pressure the developers. In any case, I have to say Chinese tech has surely evolved impressively.
- conradev 1y agoYeah – the shadowsocks developer is Chinese and the government went after them for working on an iOS VPN app back in the day on GitHub. That was a while ago, before the CCP had direct control over the App Store with law.
- MallocVoidstar 1y agoYes, but they don't host those projects inside China. This site is hosted inside China and has an ICP number.
- VWWHFSfQ 1y agoMaybe I'm misunderstanding, but isn't this project (and website) essentially illegal in China?

- MallocVoidstar 1y agoVPNs in their basic sense are legal in China, many large companies provide them/use them and so on. VPNs designed to bypass the Firewall without government approval are a subset of VPNs which the police do not like.
- nonethewiser 1y agoOK so real VPNs are illegal. Then you have a subsets of VPNs that are regulated by the CCP and therefor legal. And useless for many use-cases.
- adinisom 1y agoI would assume EasyTier devs use it to connect their devices within China so the great firewall isn't involved. Attempts to cross the firewall with EasyTier are detectable without things like Tor's pluggable censorship evasion transports.
- sureglymop 1y agoWhy would hosting this website and creating this project be illegal in China? They're not offering this as a SAAS or something...
- nonethewiser 1y agoDistribution of software that subverts censorship laws.
- nonethewiser 1y ago>China relied on two U.S. companies--Cisco Systems and Juniper Networks--to help carry out its network upgrade, known as "CN2," in 2004. This upgrade significantly increased China’s ability to monitor Internet usage. Cisco also sold several thousand routers (IHT) used to censor web content, and "firm’s engineers have helped set it to spot ’subversive’ key-words in messages." What's ironic about that? Cisco sold them networking equipment and the CCP used it to censor.
- immibis 1y agoSurely not publicly on government-licensed websites.
