Why not get a remote server and tunnel your connection through it -- Tailscale, or Cloudflare, or even raw WireGuard if that's what you prefer.

You'll basically have your own private VPN


This is what I do, except into the UK so I can watch geo-blocked sports. Pure wireguard, nothing fancy. But that also means if anything were to go wrong or stop working I can just tear it down and set it up somewhere else.


Hey HN, this would be more of an early release (still planning on some tweaks before a release) -- would love to hear your thoughts on this!

For some back-story, this is more of a side-side-project (made this while working on another side-project).

When I switched to using Go for my projects (from Python), the lack of a template generator similar to python-package-template[1] was very annoying. I would copy the basic files (Makefile, Github actions, PR templates, etc) from the previous project only to realize I forgot to change some stuff, and now would need to rewrite git history.

By the third project, I decided to create a template generator for Go! I've tried to keep the generated project as flexible as possible - you can decide to skip the of it and go for a simple project, or take the bloat (pre-commit would need Python for one).

While making go-template, one of my side goals has been to keep the project beginner-friendly. I remember stumbling upon python-package-template[1] as a novice, and learning more than I had in a semester - Makefiles, linters, code-formatters, semantic versioning, pipelines, and so much more! With go-template, I hope to give that same experience to some other newbie who might stumble upon my repo (or a project generated using go-template).

As a fun fact, go-template has an option to remove Github-specific-features (pull request templates, workflows, etc). This was inspired by a comment on HN[2] pointing out that many open-source projects were on Github simply because of FOMO, which in-turn promoted Github's dominance!
