Forum.freecodecamp.org is unavailable in China

[AndrewFan0408]

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:

FCC forum is blocked in Russia?

Good day everyone. It seems like the FCC forum is inaccessible from Russia, I have to use VPN to reach it. At the same time the main FCC domain (https://learn.freecodecamp.org/) is accessible no probs. I’m having this problem for a while (about a couple of months), it’s not bothering me because of VPN, but I think you should know about the issue. Other campers from Russia might be confused.

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!
