By the way, I just noticed this: >Traffic by countries >United States 36.66% >China 13.19%

  That's wildly inaccurate. When I ran the numbers, China was less than 1%.

    Did you notice a drop in traffic when the Great Firewall started blocking HN?
    • dang 7y ago
      When was that?

        Since I'm no longer in China, I rely on GreatFire Analyzer to check: https://en.greatfire.org/https/news.ycombinator.com https://en.greatfire.org/https/news.ycombinator.com According to that data, it started in August, which is also when people started to notice: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20599249 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20599249 (Edit: just noticed you were in that thread. I think it was the first; at least I can't find any others with this search: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&query=Blocked%20China&sort=byDate&type=story https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que... ) The block doesn't seem to be absolute, as some of GreatFire's servers still occasionally get through. Based on previous experience, I guess it's location-dependent, but can't say for sure.
