Goproxy China
The most trusted Go module proxy in China.
Goproxy China has fully implemented the Go's
module proxy 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 CDNed Go module proxy for Gophers in China and the rest
of the world. Please subscribe to our real-time and historical data on system
performance at status.goproxy.cn.
Goproxy China only focuses on the development of the web application
that serves at the 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 China
based on.
Happy coding, Gophers! ;-)
Note that in order to better help Gophers to use Go moduels, Goproxy China
now supports answering all Go moduels related questions (no longer just related
to Go module proxy), all you need to do is simply follow the issue template to
post questions
here.

FAQ page already has the question you want to ask.
Usage
Although the following content only explains how to set GOPROXY, but we also
recommend that you set GO111MODULE to on instead of auto when you are

FAQ
Why create Goproxy China?
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 China to make Gophers
in China better use Go modules. In fact, since the
goproxy.cn has been CDNed, Gophers in other countries can
also use it.
Is it safe to use Goproxy China?
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
China already supports
proxying checksum databases.
Is Goproxy China legal in China?
Goproxy China 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 the proxy.golang.org?
The 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 the
proxy.golang.org, after all, it looks more official.
Once you enter the mainland of China, we hope that you'll think of the
goproxy.cn in the first place, which is the main reason
why we choose the .cn as the domain name extension.
Who will answer the questions that I have asked in here?

community. Please keep in mind that in order to alleviate the workload of
