Hello *,
I have problems opening several sites
gentoo.org
wiki.gentoo.org
devmanual.gentoo.org
(but not packages.gentoo.org, forums.gentoo.org)
from my gentoo notebook in Novosibirsk, Russia. All these sites have an
excellent ping; the problem is only to access them via https. First I wait
for several minutes; then either the browser (chrome) declares timeout, or
the site opend, but without the top menu, the background picture below the
menu. Instead I get the menu as a plain vertical list of lines, each line
contains a link. These links work. But if I choose, e.g., the link
Support, I again have to wait for many minutes for gentoo.org/support/ to
load.
This is clearly related to me being in Russia. When I go to the same sites
from chrome on my android tablet, and this tablet is connected by vpn to a
vps in Germany, everything works fast and without defects. Unfortunately,
I have no client compatible with this vpn on my gentoo notebook.
Seems to be some effects of Russian internet blocking (though I see no
political reasons to block gentoo.org; it is not in the official list of
sites blocked in Russia).
Is it possible to investigate this problem further? Maybe, some css styles
are taken from some places blocked (nobody knows why) in Russia?
It's all very inconvenient.
Andrey
