Yuck, typical experience with chinese companies!

I just looked at a few and only one offered an english site, but didn't like my (perfectly valid and working fine) email address, so FY, alibaba!
All others were chinese only that is, weird glyph gibberish for me.

Sad because I want to try out and like chinese products but they seem to just not care about Westerners. Oh well ...

Chinese cloud services are subject to strict government regulations, especially regarding registration and identity verification. It's not that they don't care about Western customers; many of these services are simply designed for the domestic market.

@averagedatahoarder said: How does one acquire an invitation to NodeSeek, without a Chinese phone number?
@HeavySword said: you can apply one in TGbot. But as far as I know, applications from TG accounts registered with non-Chinese (+86) phone numbers are reviewed in batches periodically, so they take longer to get approved.

Not +86 too, it only took a few days in my case, fyi

I also dont use +86, but it took me just 5 days and got approved on 23 Oct. I'm on the same pfp there with a translated username tho.

If they really do once every month, then good luck

What would be the best VPS/VPN to get that would unlock geo-restrictions of BiliBili content for someone outside the Mainland? I am aware there are some apps that enable this function but I don't trust using them.

As Chinese, I think that Bilibili is generally accessible from overseas. Only certain content, especially anime and TV shows, is region-locked due to licensing restrictions. But these should be all in Chinese language, and I guess that you won't like these.

Sorry for my poor English(

Depending on context, it often means one of:

• Specialized proxy nodes that uses firewall-bypassing protocols, such as vless, naiveproxy, hysteria, anytls, trojan.
• Specialized proxy providers that provide those proxy nodes
• literal airport, where airplanes fly and land from
• (previously) Shadowsocks services that was bought and not self hosted. The term "airport" for proxy services was believed to be originated from the icon of shadowsocks being a paper airplane, and thus where the "planes" connect to / where the "plane tickets" were bought from became airports.
• (when used to describe persons) Adj, refers to the person having such a flat chest that's "comparable to an airport (runway)". Mildly derogatory.
