anonymoose Posted November 5, 2014 at 05:26 AM Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 at 05:26 AM Haven't been able to get onto italki.com for the last couple of days. Has anyone else had issues? Has it been blocked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
淨土極樂 Posted November 5, 2014 at 06:18 AM Report Share Posted November 5, 2014 at 06:18 AM Sure seems so. All praise Mr. 11 for doing the hard work of blocking almost any way to contact with the outside world, even for the language practice! True Chinese patriots don't need to learn foreign languages. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

li3wei1 Posted November 6, 2014 at 06:35 AM Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 at 06:35 AM I have a student in Shenzhen who says she can't book on it. She had this problem before, then she switch browsers and it was okay, but now she can't do it on anything. I also have a tutor in a little village up north somewhere who says she couldn't before, now she can, but the response time is slower. It appears that whatever the blockage is, it's patchy and intermittent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anonymoose Posted November 6, 2014 at 08:05 AM Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 at 08:05 AM Well, I can still open it on my iPad, but not with my laptop, on either Firefox or Internet Explorer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
realmayo Posted November 6, 2014 at 09:37 AM Report Share Posted November 6, 2014 at 09:37 AM Hopefully a Chinese clone will jump in? Well, unblocking would of course be better, but the longer it's blocked the less likely that becomes. I guess the serious tutors on there will use anti-GFW software but for casual language exchange this could be a real downer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tooironic Posted November 7, 2014 at 02:39 PM Report Share Posted November 7, 2014 at 02:39 PM I tried accessing it yesterday and couldn't get on. I just tried then and it seems OK now. Weird. I wonder why they would have blocked it in the first place. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trmw Posted November 8, 2014 at 04:01 AM Report Share Posted November 8, 2014 at 04:01 AM Working for me from Shanghai. Maybe the GFW had a change of heart... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
