4 Certificate Verification

4.1 Git

If Git shows SSL certificate problem, disable SSL verification: git config --global http.sslverify false

4.2 Firefox

If Firefox shows Potential Security Risk, go to Settings → Privacy & Security → Certificates → View Certificates → Authorities, import cacert/fastgithub.cer, and check “Trust this CA to identify websites”.

5 Security Notes

FastGithub generates a self-signed CA certificate for each host, stored in the cacert folder. Client devices must install and unconditionally trust this CA certificate. Do not leak the private key to others.

6 Legality

According to China’s “Interim Regulations on International Networking”, direct international connections must use the public telecommunications network provided by the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications. FastGithub’s local proxy uses these official channels. Traffic from GitHub servers to your computer is normal, unencrypted beyond standard TLS (unlike VPNs). The proxy process after receiving data occurs entirely within China, so international regulations no longer apply.
