Dear Zhiyang
G'Day contributors of the Libre-silicon project, Thank you so much for supporting Dr./Mr. Mohammad Amin Nili, and others, who can have their access to GitHub (not just the Libre-silicon project repository) or another source-code-hosting facility restricted.
The main motivator, where we had to start relocating our infrastructure is, that it always was a pain during meetings with partners in 深圳 to present the project on the projector, because the website libresilicon.com was originally hosted on GitHub, so I had enough and moved it. And every time I wanna hack around a bit in the StarBucks in Moko center until my friends come (Shopping park station close to 福田) I encountered the problem, that I could not reliably git pull/git push (especially when pulling bigger changes), so I always had to do a git pull, before I crossed the check point.
david: if you get a Pokefi, and you always remain within the Huaqiang Bay Special Economic Zone, it connects directly at ISO Layer 2 to Hong Kong based cell tower infrastructure... *not* to China-based 3G/4G infrastructure.
consequently it is... "unrestricted".... :)
even here in Shenkeng (near New Taipei City) the ISP is a bit... shit (no censorship: just... shit), ports get blocked accidentally, including ssh and OpenVPN. mosh, interestingly, being low-traffic, tends to get left alone.
so, *sigh*, i have had to set up a special single link openvpn config and change the port number on a regular basis.
it would be really helpful if openvpn included the XOR patch that is used in china a lot (it gets rid of the deep packet inspection detection).
