Very nice and seems fast
In the next weeks I'll go in an authoritarian country so I can test if it works good
Seems trustworthy even if free, but if using for p2p it's a bit abusing them, maybe donate a bit via liberapay
How authoritarian we talking? China?
Yes, so I am preparing a collection of VPN...
I don't understand what they're thinking.
In the beginning it was just blocking Facebook& Twitter so it wasn't a big issue. Now it's almost completely isolated.
At this level is just self harm, as a VPN is no more optional but is mandatory for everyone.
Even the director of the gfw program was spotted with some VPN icons on his desktop during a PowerPoint presentation from his laptop
This allows for easy supply chain attacks to companies because when employees need to download huge packages from the internet like xcode, they a presented with a choice: download from official website at 5 kb/s and finish next week or download an hacked version laced with malware from a shady website at 5 megabytes/s? Even Tencent was hacked in this way...
Well, I believe you have to just set up your own shadowsocks/vmess/vless/trojan/etc server instead of collecting VPNs, since they are often useless in authoritarian countries nowadays.
