Request for IT help, anyone within China

[SeanyD]

Hi all

I'm in need of assistance from someone within the Great Firewall of China, so if anybody has 5 minutes to spare, would you be kind enough to PM me.

Thanks in advance

Sean.

Not fb, its a website we run with content distributed by the amazon cloud.

There is your problem - amazon cloud like google cloud is firewalled.

I have heard of people using tools like expat shield to access stuff through the great firewall but not exactly an ideal model for all your china based customers.

Edit - in the orraficenow so with some real facts. It's not blocked but it is heavily "monitored" for want of a better term. This causes huge latency and depending on where you are / what connection you have then it may appear to be timing out.
