False alarm. I live in China. Just turned off my VPN and I can access the site, download the source and docs.
Sometimes there are regional blocks in some provinces, that may be the case, can't test it. But they are not targeting simple numbers. Maybe some other keyword triggered a dynamic block in some regional ISP's GFW system. You can get those dynamic blocks easily by searching on Google for certain keywords. For the next 3 minutes your Internet will stop working.
If there is any Chinese involved in node, s/he could just write an email to the "internet police" gov't dept and ask them to lift the blocking, if it actually exists anywhere in the country.
- briandear 15y agoLol. "Write to the Internet police." Yeah, good luck with that. The government doesn't ever officially acknowledge sites that are blocked. Even the AWS east coast data center (read: heroku) is blocked in China intermittently. All writing to the mythical Internet police would accomplish is getting your name on a list of people with a stated desire to visit 'pornography'. Internet companies that don't end in .cn and start with 'Tencent' or 'Baidu' are better of just leaving China. It'll never be good here as long as the communists are in power.
- yaix 15y agoThat is only partially true, I know of websites that have got themselves unblocked by doing exactly this. But honestly I don't want to discuss that with somebody starting his/her post with "Lol".
