Dear Colleagues,
This message is to inform you that we are currently aware that the ANU is experiencing difficulty accessing some web sites hosted within China.
What we know
Investigations by IT Services and our network partner AARNet have determined that computers that reside on the ANU network are currently unable to view content from an increasing list of Chinese websites.
Please see below some examples of websites residents have thus far reported as not working:
· http://zhidao.baidu.com - This is the Chinese version Google, and most resulting websites from searches are not available.
· http://www.tudou.com - Chinese version of Youtube (video uploading and sharing website)
· http://zhidao.cjis.cn/qlist/65117?lm=2
· http://sports.163.com/13/1017/23/9BE566F300051C8L.html

In the past, ANU has been subjected to China's Golden Shield firewall system when accessing a library database in Shanghai. On that occasion the issue required China Telecom to make adjustments at their end.
How this might be affecting you?
ANU students (primarily residential communities) or staff who are trying to access any of the above websites, or any other website in China from which our access may be externally blocked.
What are we doing about it?
There is unfortunately no quick fix and very little we are able to do in this situation other than request the administrators of each website review the situation which from past experience leads us back to China Telecom and a comment regarding national security. We understand the frustrations this is causing, and thank you for your feedback and patience during this time. We will continue to do what it can to attempt to restore connectivity to the Chinese web sites as quickly as possible.
Next steps?
One possible short-term workaround is to use what is known as an external VPN service hosted out of either Singapore or Hong Kong. This should in principle enable access by providing a different point of origin for the connection to the Chinese web site. You can find examples of these types of VPN services here:

The University does not have any control over these services nor can it assist in any support surrounding the services mentioned in the above links, and provides this information purely as an option, you must determine yourself whether you wish to use it.
Next update
We will send an update to you just as soon as we have further information on any possible resolution from the third parties involved.
