Diagnose GitHub DNS and Connection Failures
When GitHub cannot be reached, DNS interference is one possible cause, but it is not the only one. Firewalls, proxies, network policy, routing failures, TLS inspection, blocked SSH, and GitHub incidents can produce similar symptoms.

Audit Publicly Exposed Ollama and DeepSeek Endpoints Safely
Search engines such as FOFA and Shodan can reveal Ollama servers that have been exposed to the public internet. This page explains how to use that information for a defensive audit of systems you own or are explicitly authorized to test.
Ollama is a runtime for running and serving models; it is not itself a language model. Its API can serve DeepSeek and many other compatible models. According to the official Ollama FAQ, Ollama binds to 127.0.0.1:11434 by default. A publicly reachable instance therefore normally reflects an intentional configuration change, a container port mapping, a reverse proxy, or another network-exposure decision.
⚠️ SFCloud and FCCloud Shutdown—February 11, 2025
On February 11, 2025, SFCloud and FCCloud were confirmed shut down. Their websites were inaccessible, all servers were offline, and support tickets went unanswered.
Stop renewing immediately to avoid additional losses.
At the time, XSUS stated that it could accept SFCloud and FCCloud users at 30% of their previous subscription value and asked them to submit a support ticket after registering on the XSUS website.
Warning
XSUS itself triggered a shutdown risk alert on April 28, 2025 and is not recommended.
When choosing a proxy service, a longer operating history may reduce—but cannot eliminate—shutdown risk. The source article used Dageyun as one example.

Shanhu Cloud Review—Archived Provider Claims and Purchase Checks
The source page is primarily a provider description rather than an independent performance review. Its network, security, bandwidth, and support statements are therefore recorded below as marketing claims, not verified findings.
Run DeepSeek Locally with Ollama: Hardware, Models, and VS Code
This guide runs a DeepSeek-family model locally with Ollama, verifies where it is loaded, and connects it to VS Code through Continue. It corrects several outdated items in the Chinese source, including unsupported registry-mirror configuration, model tags, fixed hardware estimates, and Continue's deprecated JSON format.
How to Identify a Proxy Service's Route Type
Thanks to @wannaCSmajor for the original question:
People say route quality should matter more than node count and recommend IPLC/IEPL, multi-entry BGP relays, or CN2 over an ordinary public-network relay. How can I tell which route a provider actually uses?
The short answer is that an outside user usually cannot prove a commercial transport contract from one traceroute. You can collect signals about the visible IP path, origin networks, latency, loss, and peak-hour behavior, then compare those signals with the provider's claim. A true private or Layer-2 segment may deliberately be invisible to ordinary IP-level tools.
