Sho Fukamachi Online - now blocked in China!
Friday, October 3rd, 2008Thanks to testing by friends, I can now report that I’ve achieved my lifelong goal of becoming an Enemy of the Chinese State - this blog, and domain, is now blocked in the People’s Republic of China.
Interestingly, the block is keyed by domain - the block is not on the IP itself, as other sites operating on this IP remain unblocked. The actual mechanism seems to be the good ol’ TCP RST trick.
No idea why. I can only assume that my dangerous levels of awesomeness presented a threat to social order in the Middle Kingdom.
UPDATE: unblocked.
