Hmmm. Would I get banned by the GFW for these two characters? 0x1F1F9 0x1F1FC...? (🇹🇼)

- jrockway 7y agoThe last time I was in China, HN was already banned.
- milankragujevic 7y agoI mean, AFAIK my blog isn't. Yet. I get visitors from China on my post about controlling the world's cheapest quadcopter from a PC via arduino and nrf24l01+... edit: I just checked, it's accessible from mainland China, though quite slow.
- rdbell 7y agoIf anyone else wants to check their website's accessibility from China, I run a service that lets developers proxy HTTP requests through real Chinese (and worldwide) residential ISP customers: https://packetstream.io https://packetstream.io We have a worldwide network of real users that install a relay app on win/mac and we proxy customer requests through their home ISP connections like this: ``` developer@Developers-MacBook-Pro-2:~% curl -x http://xxxx:xxxx_country-China@proxy.packetstream.io:31112 https://ifconfig.co/json {"ip":"223.166.106.16","ip_decimal":3752225296,"country":"China","country_eu":false,"country_iso":"CN","city":"Qingpu","latitude":31.1539,"longitude":121.1141,"asn":"AS17621","asn_org":"China Unicom Shanghai network"} ``` I just tested HN several times from different Chinese IPs and it is indeed blocked: ``` developer@Developers-MacBook-Pro-2:~% curl -v -x https://xxxx:xxxx_country-China@proxy.packetstream.io:31111 https://news.ycombinator.com/ * Trying 34.234.216.249... * TCP_NODELAY set * Connected to proxy.packetstream.io (34.234.216.249) port 31112 (#0) * Establish HTTP proxy tunnel to news.ycombinator.com:443 * Proxy auth using Basic with user 'xxxx' > CONNECT news.ycombinator.com:443 HTTP/1.1 > Host: news.ycombinator.com:443 > Proxy-Authorization: Basic xxxx > User-Agent: curl/7.54.0 > Proxy-Connection: Keep-Alive > < HTTP/1.1 502 Proxy Error (destination unreachable) < Proxy-agent: PacketStream Proxy < Content-Type: text/html < * Received HTTP code 502 from proxy after CONNECT * Closing connection 0 curl: (56) Received HTTP code 502 from proxy after CONNECT ``` If any HN users want free PacketStream credits to test their own endpoints send me an email with your PacketStream username: ronald at packetstream dot io
- milankragujevic 7y agoOh wow that's an excellent service. Especially given the fact you provide access to actual Chinese network endpoints. Please post the link again, this time as a Show HN link-post and put the text description as the first comment (I've noticed that increases chances of success. ) (given the fact your previous post from 6 months ago didn't get any traction). Of course, if you want.
