China's great firewall got us shadowsocks and v2ray. Shadowsocks is interesting because, if I understand it correctly, its obfuscation (plugin?) method makes the firewall think I'm browsing github or some other innocuous website I set. I wonder what new advancements in censorship circumvention we'll get when the western firewalls go up. Never mind overt talks of combatting piracy or protecting children or whatnot. That's where announcements like this are headed.


Is shadowsocks still actively maintained? Last I saw their repo was abandoned, but maybe someone forked it and I missed it.
