Can't connect to the site via VPN
Good morning!
Strange problem, I hope someone can help me - when I try to connect to the site via VPN, it is always blocked. If I disable the VPN, I can connect immediately. Can anyone give me some tips as to what to do?
Thanks in advance.

The issue seemed to solve itself just after I posted above, but I will leave the initial post here in case anyone has any advice or comments.
Otherwise, apologies if it was just one of those things !

I spoke too soon! The problem is back again, but I am wondering if it because of my choice of server for the VPN.....I will see what happens in the next day or too and give you an update here.
Thanks for your interest !

While I was living on the Mainland, there usually was no conflict between flyertalk and the Great Firewall. When flyertalk was blocked, everything was blocked anyway.
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.

Today, no problem, so I will just keep an eye on what happens.
