The most trusted Go module proxy in China.
Goproxy China has fully implemented the Go's module proxy protocol. And it's a non-profit project that will (when it is fully tested) run on China's well-trusted cloud service provider Qiniu Cloud. Our goal is to provide a free, trusted, always on, and CDNed Go module proxy for Gophers in China and the rest of the world.
Note that Goproxy China will (and will only) focus on the development of the web application that serves at the https://goproxy.cn. If you are looking for a dead simple way to build your own Go module proxy, then you should take a look at Goproxy which is Goproxy China based on.
Happy coding, Gophers! ;-)
Q: Why create Goproxy China?
A: Due to the Chinese government's network supervision system, there are lot of
modules in the Go ecosystem that Chinese Gophers cannot go get, such as the
most famous golang.org/x/.... And the speed of getting modules from GitHub in
the mainland of China is a bit slow. So we created Goproxy China to make Gophers
in China better use Go modules. In fact, since the
goproxy.cn will be CDNed, Gophers in other countries can
also use it.
Q: Is it safe to use Goproxy China?
A: Of course, as with all other Go module proxies, we just cache the modules as they are, so we can assure you that they will never be tampered with on our side. However, if you still can't fully trust us. Then you can use your trusted checksum databases (such as the sum.golang.org) to ensure that the modules you get from us have not been tampered with, since Goproxy China has supported proxying checksum databases.
Q: Is Goproxy China legal in China?
A: The Goproxy China will be a business-supported project rather than a personal project. This means that it will be fully legal in China.
Q: Why not use the proxy.golang.org?
A: The proxy.golang.org has been blocked in the mainland of China. So, no.
