Yes, but they don't host those projects inside China. This site is hosted inside China and has an ICP number.

  Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but isn't this project (and website) essentially illegal in China?

    VPNs 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.

      OK 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.

        I 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.

    Why would hosting this website and creating this project be illegal in China? They're not offering this as a SAAS or something...

      Distribution of software that subverts censorship laws.
