Make sure that if you are in China, your VPN actively keeps making adjustments so that any tweaks that is made by the Firewall can be thwarted.
Thanks for your comment. What I didn't mention in my post (I guess I should have done so) is that the problem only occurs on my pc, not on my smartphone. Yesterday, for example, Flyertalk wouldn't open on my pc if I was using the VPN, but all other sites, including Facebook and Youtube, were fine. But on my smartphone, which was also connected to the same VPN, there was no problem opening Flyertalk.
Today, no problem, so I will just keep an eye on what happens.
