China blocked Whatsapp and now the only reliable solution to unblock WhatsApp in VPN!
Last days people from China report about the problems with WhatsApp. And today we are trying to find a solution how to unblock WhatsApp in China.
”
Hello all,
I used Whatsapp app without any issue in China, keeping in touch with my relatives and friends on it without any bad behaviors , just simple chat. Since yesterday evening, I noticed I cannot update my status or any settings anymore on it. I was thinking is because of a slow internet connection but then I noticed I cannot even send or receiving any message on it ! It was like a empty tool , same as facebook here. I tried access Whatsapp website, but it say connection was reset … or unable to reach the server, same as facebook page also. I tried reinstall Whatsapp, but didn’t worked anymore , after reinstall , it can’t reach my phone number to receiving the verification message from Whatsapp. I tried use it on other devise, but is the same issue, is death ! I tried reinstall it on other devise, but is same issue, impossible to connecting to receiving the verification message of the phone number .
I asked the internet administrator if this is general issue and he told me he can’t also access whatsapp webpage and sent me a picture screenshot to comfirming. We tried to access it from China Mobile internet , but is the same issue, cannot.
I read that in Brazil Whatsapp was down for 72 hours and I am wonder if this is the same issue in China or it will never ever work again..
Could you use Whatsapp ? More replies will help to see if is general issue. Thanks in advance !”
