What other way would you recommend? I'm definitely open to other solutions. Patches accepted - but we need a way to easily get users a good default list.
I'm also not sure I'm convinced that just that list will get all of github blocked. What evidence do you have to support that? Lantern itself on github seems more 'dangerous' than just the list of sites. And none of our Chinese users seemed to think this is an issue.
I'll ask the greatfire guys, as I'm in touch with them. They wrote a great article on the last time github was blocked: https://en.greatfire.org/blog/2013/jan/github-blocked-china-how-it-happened-how-get-around-it-and-where-it-will-take-us https://en.greatfire.org/blog/2013/jan/github-blocked-china-...
Also will try to ask the autoproxy guys directly - I'm not sure if their reason for using the encoded format is the reason you say.
- est 13y agojust encode is with whatever method you choose, don't leave the list as plain text so anyone could view it and "judge" it. greatfire.org is an OK website for now, history record shows it's not that reliable. If you need any in-depth prior art take a look at Chinese researchers did at GFW Review http://gfwrev.blogspot.com/ http://gfwrev.blogspot.com/ They reversed engineered almost everything about GFW, socially and technically. Btw also this masterpiece http://www.chinagfw.org/2009/08/gfw_30.html http://www.chinagfw.org/2009/08/gfw_30.html which triggered a man hunt and serious online crack down in China
- cholmesny 13y agoOk, I took it down. It won't be as simple as 'just encod[ing[ with whatever method', as users right now copy and paste their lists in. So this will be a step back. We need someone to code a way to add encrypted lists, and we've got several higher priority things on our plate. Hopefully someone will help out with an open source contribution.
