# TO CIRCUMVENT YOUR GOVERNMENT'S FIREWALL RESTRICTION
|
|
|
|
Because SoftEther VPN is overly strong tool to build a VPN tunnel,
|
|
some censorship governments want to block your access to the source code
|
|
of SoftEther VPN, by abusing their censorship firewalls.
|
|
|
|
To circumvent your censor's unjust restriction,
|
|
SoftEther VPN Project distributes the up-to-date source-code
|
|
on all the following open-source repositories:
|
|
|
|
- GitHub
|
|
https://github.com/SoftEtherVPN/SoftEtherVPN/
|
|
|
|
To fetch the source code from GitHub:
|
|
```
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/SoftEtherVPN/SoftEtherVPN.git
|
|
```
|
|
We hope that you can reach one of the above URLs at least!
