Hello, yes, I’m unable to access website x on my laptop.
Ok, which site are you at?
I’m in China.
Ah, there’s your problem.
But it’s been working ok until now, I’ve been able to get on y and z.
Right, and can you get on those sites at the moment?
Yes.
But not the other one, and you’re in China?
Yes, what do you think the problem is?
You’re in China.
Yes.
No, I mean, you’re in China, a communist country that restricts access to the media and filters all net traffic in and out of its borders.
Ok, so what are our options?
I don’t follow.
Well, I need to get on site x for important reason w.
I can appreciate that, but there really isn’t anything I can do to enable you to access site x, from here.
That’s not the answer I want to hear.
I can appreciate that too, unfortunately I’m not in a position to overthrow the Chinese Government and dismantle their tools of oppression at this precise moment. Sorry.

And so, interminably, on.
