I seem unable to expand tiny URLs (bit.ly at least) while in China unless I’m VPNed into my house. Unlike last year, though, I can go t o my home system directly.I wonder if bit.ly is being blocked or something else is going on.Whatever the reason this highlights the problem of taking the entire Internet (or at least a significant portion) and forcing it past a point of (unnecessary) vulnerability.
