Hi Guys,

I am currently unable to access ChinesePod at both my university and home. I am having to use a VPN. I think you might have been firewalled.

Same for me. It's not been possible to access Chinesepod from Beijing for the past couple of days. Is this a tech issue or something outside CPod's control?

Hi all,

I'm looking into it. I do not think it's a technical issue, I will let you know once I know what's going on.

Thanks

So, I am now able to acess the site without using a VPN but it is so slow its unsable. So along with my CPod subscription I also have a VPN subscrition. WINNING!
