I have a simple question. I live in Shanghai, and I have found that everything on: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/ is blocked. A specific example of what is blocked is: http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/mirrorlist?repo=updates-released-f9.newkey&arch=x86_64 If this site is unavailable, yum does not function. The part that concerns me is that it does not seem the be my ISP or the Chinese Great Firewall that is doing the blocking.

A bunch of these IP address are run by AT&T in NJ. I have learned that more and more of the blocked sites are not due to the Great Firewall, but are blocked by US ISPs and site admins who block all requests from China. I can reach: http://fedoraproject.org/ without any problems. I eventually started using a proxy which made my requests appear to come from a US based IP address, and then yum worked perfectly. Can anyone provide some insights into what is happening? -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
