Hard to Connect to Faucet.bitshares.org in China

[abit]

I wonder if it would be faster with TOR?

nope... sometimes just need a server closer

Somebody from Chinese BitShares community just needs to fork the faucet's source code here https://github.com/BitShares/web_services, run own server and provide core developers with it's url so they can add its support to the wallets.

BTW you can easily translate faucet to Chinese by editing this file https://github.com/BitShares/web_services/blob/master/faucet/config/locales/zh.yml

Sounds interesting. Will ask some members.
I think bts.hk may have interest.

It would -- if your tor bridge (direct connections are censored) is in a nearby asian country.

I dont think it uses a CDN: http://gtmetrix.com/reports/faucet.bitshares.org/eLDVkeJB

maybe using CDN would help?

It's not about the GFW , but the location and provider of the server .

It's hard to connect to faucet.bitshares.org in China. Any idea to improve?
