Steer Install in China to use the JiHu Edition
Background
We are still seeing CE and EE hosts/installs increase in China (to be expected given JiHu’s limited time in market). Every instance in China not on the JH version is an instance that JiHu has to convert to JH before they can sell a license. Can you think of any options for steering users in China to install JH instead of CE/EE?
Proposal
Identify install page visits by location/IP and steer them to JH install page.
We want to redirect users based on location/IP in the China region from https://about.gitlab.com/install/ to https://about.gitlab.cn/install
Once suggested implementation method is to create a pagerule that redirects based on origin IP range/country to a new destination. Keeping in mind the need to consider how to verify the redirect and to properly define the source traffic we want to redirect.
