GoHop is a VPN implemented in Go with built-in encryption and traffic obfuscation, designed to evade deep packet inspection and censorship systems like the GFW. It uses pre-shared key authentication, random port/protocol hopping, and traffic shaping, running on Linux tun/tap devices.

Use cases

• bypass the great firewall of china
• vpn that evades deep packet inspection
• obfuscated vpn to escape censorship
• hide vpn traffic from dpi detection
• circumvent blocked openvpn and ssh tunnels
• self-hosted anti-censorship vpn server

When to choose

• you need a lightweight self-hosted VPN specifically designed to evade DPI and machine-learning-based traffic classification
• you are on Linux and want port/protocol hopping to avoid protocol fingerprinting
• you want a VPN without SSL/TLS handshake signatures that censors can detect

When to avoid

• you need a maintained, actively developed VPN - the project has been inactive since 2019
• you need Windows or macOS support - it only works on Linux tun/tap
• you need a production-grade, audited VPN solution - it has no license and reinvents its own crypto
• you just need a general-purpose VPN without censorship concerns - use WireGuard or OpenVPN instead
