Hey legends, I want to make a VERY simple app (MVP) that faces clients in Mainland China 🇨🇳

My empty project with a toddle domain (eg. htttttps://random_name_here.toddle.site/) appears to be blocked 😭

Could someone confirm if this is expected and what I could look at as a solution?

thanks so much!

Wow, I don't think that that's something we've set from our end 🤷‍♂️

Cloudflare has a separate network for china
I don't know if you have to opt-in to be able to serve content there or something

It's something I didn't think about until now. I assume there aren't many that are building for China...

Here's a screenshot of a IP/server tests in different provinces in China.

Great energy @Namedoesnotfi! Your continuous contribution to the toddle Community just made you advance to Community Level 4!

Since toddle primarily uses Cloudflare for distributing sites, my guess it would have to look at expanding things to the China network
I believe it is a dedicated network since China blocks everything
But I don't know how that works with Cloudflare
If it is included by default
Or if we have to do anything on our end for it

It would be interesting to learn more about this

It seems China network access is an add-on for the Enterprise plan in Cloudflare

Interesting... Ive had a look at various static website builders over the last year or two. Some work, some dont.

Once upon a time i used strikingly.com's free plan.... blocked, but others who used a paid plan could request it. im not sure about their 'hosts' like eg cloudfare or anything though.

Thanks for the discussion guys 🔥

I don't how expensive that would be and if it would be worth it
