Comment on Ask HN: On China VPN block, would you help us out?

Comments

I'm working on a package that will help. I don't think there's any silver-bullet single-solution, but we're trying to make things better.

What would be the best way to get in touch with other people in your situation? Is translation worthwhile, or should I spend my time beefing up the tech instead?

Email me - E1ven@e1ven.com - I'd love to know as much about your specific situation as possible. I can't promise a perfect solution, but we're trying.

Grateful for your kindness, e1ven and cjbprime. I'll write you email soon.

I understand cjbprime's concern which is reasonable. Using it for bypassing blocking while not privacy can be the 1st step. anyway there must be somebody does the beta test :-)

Hm, please don't give unpublished/unaudited circumvention software to people in censored regimes -- you could get them in a lot of trouble by promising privacy that you aren't actually giving them.

I agree; I think it's important to be extraordinarily careful in such circumstances.

But I also think it's important to engage with potential users whenever possible, to help ensure I'm building something that's actually useful and helpful, rather than spinning my wheels on my guess on what to do.
