Recently, many users have reported that connection failures often occur when accessing GitHub and they cannot access the website, especially those using Google Chrome. So what causes this?
First, we need to understand what GitHub is. GitHub is one of the world's largest code hosting platforms. Many developers use it to store and share their own code, as well as to view and learn from other people's code. For many developers, GitHub is an indispensable learning and communication tool.
However, many users have recently reported being unable to access GitHub. The main reason is that GitHub is blocked by the Great Firewall of mainland China. Access to GitHub is massively blocked, which means that Chinese developers cannot access excellent code from other countries and cannot freely share their code with the world. According to reports, the reason why GitHub was blocked may be that a project on GitHub called the tor project was considered to have hostile behavior and was therefore added to the "blacklist" by the Great Firewall of China.
In addition, Google Chrome is also subject to review and supervision by the governments of certain countries. Google's services are banned in some countries, such as China, Russia, and North Korea. In these countries, accessing Google's websites and services often requires the use of proxy tools to obtain the corresponding proxy address and port to bypass government censorship.
Although the phenomenon of GitHub being blocked and Google Chrome being supervised is very unpleasant, we can achieve the effect of bypassing firewalls and supervision by using proxy methods so that we can obtain more valuable Information and Resources.
In short, due to well-known reasons, users who access GitHub and use Google Chrome need to learn to bypass blocks and censorship to facilitate their own study and work. At the same time, for these situations, we need to improve our awareness of Internet censorship and Blockade attention and awareness, with a view to promoting a more open, democratic and free Internet.
