Anyone else suddenly losing access to art sites in China? I used to check Pixiv every night after work just to unwind, and now it’s completely blocked again. Tried switching browsers and clearing cache — no luck. What’s weird is it worked fine last week. I’m not trying to post anything, just browse, but it feels like these sites disappear overnight. Anyone figured out a fix that actually lasts longer than a day?

I’m not dealing with that exact issue, but it reminds me how quickly online stuff can change depending on where you are. I was in Beijing for a semester, and even random music platforms would vanish from my phone overnight. You start learning little hacks just to keep your routine going — feels like a game of digital hide-and-seek most days.
Yeah, same thing happened to me a few months ago. I went through a ton of trial and error before finding a setup that’s still working. If you’re wondering how to access Pixiv in China that guide breaks it down pretty well. I ended up using one of the listed VPNs, set it to Japan, and it’s been smooth since. The trick is avoiding free VPNs — they get flagged super fast.
