THE PROJECT
Raccoon Squad VPN \u2014 an Android VPN client based on Xray-core with DPI bypass for Russian users. Supports VLESS, VMess, Trojan, Shadowsocks, Hysteria2, TUIC. Built entirely with AI assistance over several months.
Source: https://gitlab.com/shray77/rsquad
WHAT THE ACTIONS DID
I had repositories that aggregated and validated free VPN nodes from public sources:
- hpp: Python scraper \u2014 fetched node lists, filtered by SNI for VLESS XTLS, validated format, TCP ping. Every 6 hours, ~30 min runtime.
- node-filter: Go L7 checker \u2014 connected via Xray, verified handshake, downloaded 2MB test file, measured speed. Every 1 hour, ~30 min runtime.
- loshad-scoc: Scout for new sources \u2014 50+ GitHub dork queries, 15 PAT tokens with rotation, HuggingFace API validation.
- zhopa-bobra: SNI popularity analyzer.
Key facts: No mining, no password cracking, no heavy computation. Nodes from public raw.githubusercontent.com lists. Standard CI/CD validation for network software. ~1 hour Actions runtime per day total.
TIMELINE
Feb 26: Suspended for "suspected compromise" \u2014 restored.\nFeb 27: Suspended for "spam flag" \u2014 restored.\nFeb 27: Suspended for repository rsquad \u2014 asked to make private.\nFeb 27: Suspended for raccoon-release \u2014 COULD NOT COMPLY: locked out.\nMar 2: GitHub demanded I delete repos. I still couldn't log in.\nMar 17: Filed formal legal appeal (7 pages), CC'd legal@github.com.\nMar 17: ~70 minutes later \u2014 permanent ban.
THE CATCH-22
GitHub demanded I delete repositories to resolve the suspension. But the account was suspended, preventing login. I informed support multiple times. No resolution.
THEY ARE HOLDING MY CODE HOSTAGE
I have no access to my repositories. No export. No backup. GitHub is effectively holding my intellectual property hostage. Under GDPR Article 20, I have an unconditional right to data portability. GitHub is refusing to comply.
This is, de facto, theft of intellectual property. The code I wrote is locked behind their wall with no legal basis for retention.
GDPR VIOLATION
Article 20 grants right to data portability. I'm locked out with no export option. DPO request unanswered beyond automated ticket.

Since China has the most advanced network censorship, the Chinese have also invented the most advanced anti-censorship tools.
The first generation is shadowsocks. It basically encrypts the traffic from the beginning without any handshakes, so DPI cannot find out its nature. This is very simple and fast and should suffice in most places.
The second generation is the Trojan protocol. The lack of a handshake in shadowsocks is also a distinguishing feature that may alert the censor and the censor can decide to block shadowsocks traffic based on suspicions alone. Trojan instead tries to blend in the vast amount of HTTPS traffic over the Internet by pretending to be a normal Web server protected by HTTPS.
After Trojan, a plethora of protocol based on TLS camouflaging have been invented.
1. Add padding to avoid the TLS-in-TLS traffic characteristics in the original Trojan protocol. Protocols: XTLS-VLESS-VISION.
2. Use QUIC instead of TCP+TLS for better performance (very visible if your latency to your tunnel server is high). Protocols: Hysteria2 and TUIC.
3. Multiplex multiple proxy sessions in one TCP connection. Protocols: h2mux, smux, yamux.
4. Steal other websites' certificates. Protocols: ShadowTLS, ShadowQUIC, XTLS-REALITY.
