Is it possible to give domain names to pro bono projects?

As the domain name of Jsdelivr is blocked in China because of GFW, which leads to jsdelivr can't be used in mainland China, all I built a jsdelivr mirror site, but I don't have the available domain name, can you please provide

👋 This to me sounds like something that JS.org should not engage with, actively bypassing security measures implemented by an entity (whether they're something to be agreed with or not). If jsDelivr is being blocked, I recommend taking that up with either local officials, or speaking with jsDevlir about what they need to do to operate correctly in your region.

@indus thoughts?

I don't know, and I don't know how to solve it with local officials, because it's a national blocking, and mainland China websites need ICP filing, which has to be submitted by the website organizer, all I want to build a public service jsdelivr mirror website for mainland China users, but I don't have a stable domain name because I am still a student

As for eu.org, us.kg these domains have been blocked and intercepted to varying degrees in China, because these domains under the banner of too many illegal sites, while most of jsdelivr's CDN is the front-end libraries, JavaScript is also a front-end must, jsdelivr more or less and JavaScript hangs out, so I think you can apply for use js.org

In my opinion, this isn't really a bypass, because since a large site like Vercel has a mainland China optimization route, it must be legitimate

You know, as soon as they're not legal they're blocked instead of having load speeds comparable to in-country servers.

To my knowledge, this is not something that JS.org has.

I have this weird feeling that if JS.org starts hosting services that bypass blocked content, JS.org will join the list of blocked domains. I would rather not harm all other JS.org users to enable someone to host a proxy to bypass regional restrictions.

I would recommend reaching out to the jsDevlir folks and working with them directly to do that, or encourage them to get the required filings so they aren't blocked.

Okay. Thank you.
