Recently I've been seeing some issues with connecting to websites hosted in China, one of them being: https://forum.yeelight.com

But this has also affected Smokeping being able to reach Amazon AWS in China too. Turning on a VPN fixes this, and I've tried from a Voyager connection and I get a response to pings.

Looks like this issue started around March 2021.

Is anyone on 2degrees able to test, and post results? (Here's the test IP for AWS in China for testing too: ec2.cn-north-1.amazonaws.com.cn / 54.222.17.62)

Edit: Solved, this happened because I was hosting a Tor Relay (not exit) node and China blacklists any IP's to do with Tor.

Yeah you've totally screwed yourself by running a relay.

On a home connection basically don't have anything to do with Tor apart from using it to access "the dark net" else you'll get blacklisted by half the internet if any reputation filters get a sniff of you having anything to do with Tor.

An ISP will be well within reason to charge for an IP change if you've made an IP toxic with your actions also so you're better to get yourself removed of any blacklist.

Yeah I figured. I'm more than happy to pay for a new address, totally my mistake but will see if I can get it whitelisted first.

I've been un-blacklisted as of Monday - yay!
