Goproxy.cn

The most trusted Go module proxy in China.

Goproxy.cn has fully implemented the GOPROXY protocol. And it's a non-profit project supported by China's well-trusted cloud service provider Qiniu Cloud. Our goal is to provide a free, trusted, always on, and globally CDNed Go module proxy for Gophers in China. Please subscribe to our real-time and historical data on system performance at status.goproxy.cn.

Goproxy.cn only focuses on the development of the web application that serves at https://goproxy.cn. If you're looking for a dead simple way to build your own Go module proxy, then you should take a look at Goproxy which is Goproxy.cn based on.

Happy coding, Gophers! ;-)

FAQ

Why create Goproxy.cn?

Due to the Chinese government's network supervision system, there're 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.cn to make Gophers in China better use Go modules. In fact, since Goproxy.cn has been CDNed globally, you can use it anywhere.

Is it safe to use Goproxy.cn?

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 the most trusted checksum database sum.golang.org to ensure that the modules you get from us have not been tampered with, since Goproxy.cn already supports proxying checksum databases.

Is Goproxy.cn legal in China?

Goproxy.cn is a business-supported project rather than a personal project. And it has been ICP filed in the MIIT of China (ICP license: 沪ICP备11037377号-56), which means it's fully legal in China.

Why not use proxy.golang.org?

Since proxy.golang.org has been blocked in the mainland of China, so no. However, if you're not in the mainland of China, then we recommend that you give priority to using proxy.golang.org, after all, it looks more official. Once you enter the mainland of China, we hope that you'll think of Goproxy.cn in the first place, which is the main reason why we choose the .cn as the domain name extension.
