Problems accessing the forum in China (no VPN)


Recommended Posts

Posted

Recently, there have been periods where I've been unable to access chinese-forums at all. I just get the old "page cannot be displayed" message. If I keep trying and trying during these periods, sometimes I manage to get the website to load but improperly or just partially - it's not useable.

It seemed just to be from my IsP at first as, when I was in cafes, it was working. However, I was in a cafe recently and it wouldn't load. I had the same problem - cannot be displayed.

This had mostly been taking place in Wudaokou. Then I also sent my friend a link to a topic that would interest her and She couldn't access the site either. She lives the other side of Beijing from me.

Anyone else had this in Beijing or China?

Same... site is barely usable without a VPN. (Suzhou/Shanghai area)

I always assumed that the site was blocked in China, as bizarre and counterproductive as that would be... but yes, same here. Cannot access it without VPN,

Same in Dalian - or at least, it rarely fully loads. It doesn't just go auto-blocked like some sites

Originally, the problem I had was that the site runs twitter and facebook scripts that caused the site to hang. I believe google analytics does the same. Recently though, i get more and more "page cannot be loaded" messages.

I don't have a VPN and probably won't buy one soon so I hopw I can still get access...

I've spent some time the last couple of days looking at this and have made some changes - any difference being noticed?

 

"I don't have a VPN and probably won't buy one soon"

Can I buy you one? Seriously, it might almost be worth me bulk buying VPN accounts to hand out to regulars.

The site is loading better the past few days for me as well

The site loads a lot faster. Also, before you did whatever you did (what was that by the way?) it would always hang when i commented on a thread. A green loading bar would popup and never go away, however, if i refreshed or opened a new window my comment would be in the thread. Now comments are lightening quick in comparison.

Can confirm what everyone else has been saying: before without VPN the site was much slower to load, lots of hanging, but now it seems fine.
