website: golang.org can't be accessed from China

[gopherbot]

by jikai507:

The Go's official website can not be accessed from China because the government built a
special firewall to ban the Google's IP. Please change the IP address of golang.org and
make it ioslated from Google's IP. The firewall usually doesn't ban the pure technical
site, golang.org might be banned together with the google.com.

In a world, all of the Google's productions have been banned by the firewall, the go
team should change a IP which is not sensitive.

Comment 1:

I think a mirror is likely to be a more practical solution.

Labels changed: added repo-main, release-none.

Seems to be solved now: https://blog.golang.org/hello-china

golang.org is now available in mainland China through the name https://golang.google.cn.

Problem with that solution, is that it doesn't let Chinese users go get from golang.org/x packages correctly since it's served from golang.google.cn.

Some users on the gopher slack told about problems using dep.

the content of golang blog itself “blog.golang.org” is not on golang.google.cn though.
can’t the whole golang.org be mirrored?
