A week ago, starting from October 10th, 2024, we began receiving reports that users were unable to open their Start.me page from China. We checked our systems and found no issues on our end.

Further testing indicated that our service is most likely being blocked by the Chinese authorities. We have not received any notification, nor are we aware of any valid reason for this action.

We are currently in contact with the Dutch Embassy to investigate further, as we provide a neutral service with no political or sensitive content.

In the meantime, we encourage our users to consider using a legal VPN connection to access our service.
