Has anybody tied using Cloudflare Warp 1.1.1.1 to see if that circumvents this issue?

And what does this have to do with CX?
You do know there's a Technical Support and Feedback section, and this has been widely reported already right?

With PureVPN, many countries are also blocked. For me Australia currently works.
This is the email I received from FT support by [email protected]
"Hi there,
Thanks for reaching out. Unfortunately we have had to temporarily raise our network security, due to an ongoing web traffic surge, possibly caused by bots."
If many members from HK contact him, FT will work harder on this.

FT working normally again from HK as of 0900HKT/02Apr. No VPN needed.
Cloudfare did ask me to tick the "verify you are human box" before I got redirected to FT (defence mechanism against bots I presume). Super easy nonetheless.

Ironic that a robot is asking me to prove I'm not one of them, but it's better than training Google by trying to work out whether a square with a handlebar in it counts as part of a bike or not.

I had FT blocked while in Sri Lanka in early March. Local (Dialog) sim.
Given the trip was five days there I did not explore options.
An unfortunate side effect of wandering?
