Unfortunately, all characteristics of Shadowsocks (SS) and ShadowsocksR (SSR) have been fully and absolutely identified and controlled by GFW ("thanks to" the forced compromise from their developers). In short, as long as the GFW wants to block your VPS, it can now do this easily and perfectly in less than 30 seconds. If you find that your SS/SSR is still working well, that means GFW has no interest or there is no need to ban you right now. Of course, each blocking cycle of GFW is about 10 weeks. Therefore, we can roughly calculate when our VPS can be unblocked.

OBS is one of the live streaming apps that wants to surpass XSplit. So far, it has been slightly better than XSplit in terms of functionality and performance. In addition, its official said it would be free forever (I hope so). This means that if XSplit doesn't master some revolutionary new technologies, it will soon be ruined by OBS.

Using proxies to indirectly connect to (from a non-real IP address) Internet used to be primarily used to speed up the web browsing. But now, as bandwidth widens, it is more often used as a means of breaking through Internet blockages and a method of achieving anonymous Internet access (i.e., hiding a user's real IP address and protecting user's online privacy and security).

There are so many excellent free file storage/sharing services on the Internet, but downloading files from these websites often comes with various annoying restrictions. For example, speed limit, traffic limit, accessible time limit, mandatory wait for some time (which can be minutes or even hours) before being allowed to download, input verification code before downloading, and so on. If you can't stand all this, then Universal Share Downloader may be just what you need.
