Chinese government block some internet web site including Youtube, Facebook and twitter. And I found that before the game, we need to download ad from Youtube. Therefore we are not access to the game unless we use some technology method to kill the wall, which only a few people know.

Is there any solution to solve this? Such as add a button to escape the ads after 10 sec, or use different ads in different area.

China makes up a decent amount of our traffic, and we are recording plays from there. What part of China are you in? Do you have an ad blocker installed?

I'm not sure the player can do anything whether he has his own ad blocker installed because it seems like the government is doing the blocking, not his software.

I think the point Boppins was trying to make is it appears there are other players from China here.

So to then try and rule out any other issues makes sense. Some adblockers or content filtering software apparently interfering with ads calling on YouTube has been much reported on here.

Ah, my bad. I see now what he was trying to say.

The proxy idea makes a lot of sense and seems like the reason why plays are being recorded from China. I used proxies at work before they blocked them too

I am in Shanghai. But that's not the point. We can't link to the Youtube or facebook. So we can't load the ad in the game, and we can get into the game.

You get these online free proxy services these days. I don't have one to recommend to you, and it's not impossible your govt blocks those, just as well, but see what a web search on +free +proxy does for you.

If that search string alone doesn't bring in the special squad, of course

Just another friendly word to the wise.
