As A Chinese student in the United States, I really love this website, but during the summer, I went back to Beijing for vacation, and I found that forum.freecodecamp.org is blocked by the Great Firewall of China. All the other features works fine, like the learn.freecodecamp.org and the main page. Just when I have some problem and want to find the solution, I can’t.
Is it because some google based thing or it’s just blocked for no reason? I know sometimes a lot of fine website are also blocked. Actually my school’s website is blocked lol
The forum is hosted on a different service than the FCC application and the government may be blocking that entire service. Russia also blocks this forum:
Weirdly enough, Russia already unbanned the FCC forum, but yeah, it was blocked for maybe almost half a year.
It was the same thing — main page and the learn.freecodecamp.org were always running no probs, only the forum was screwed. VPN all the way, my Chinese comrade!
