I cannot access the link from within VPNGate: http://tsukubahelp.gitcafe.com/show.html. Anyone, any suggestions? Should I try without the VPN tunnel?

yes, you'd better visit pages hosted inside GFW with out VPNGate, because GFW is a somewhat fucking 'bi-directional service'.

Hi pf_miles,

Your http://tsukubahelp.gitcafe.com/show.html is great.
If you add the "OpenVPN Config Files Cacheing Function" on the list it should be greater.

Okay, I'll add more functionality to the page when I have time, in fact, I'm pleased to. Because to help more people in China surfing the internet with freedom is my own wish!

bug fixed

Post by pf_miles » Wed Mar 20, 2013 3:43 pm

at earlier times today, the page 'http://tsukubahelp.gitcafe.com/show.html' could not display server ip addresses.
And when I have a look at it I found that the server responded my program a Chinese localized page instead of a English one. And because my program is analyzing the page based on an English localized pattern, so it fails.
The fix is simple: I found that the "http://vpngate.net" server using 'Accept-Language' http header to determine the localization of the client( and , in the past a few days, the localization is determined based on the client's ip address). So I just specified the header value in my program and all went okey~

And, during these days of using vpngate, I found that even for the same vpn server, its ip address may vary over time.. This may be a good 'feature' of anti-GFW :)

hmmm... this usually due to some changes happened on the original server list page. And I can fix it easily as soon as I realized it.
