Ping timeout some famous website

Posted on November 20, 2016

I can not ping nor curl on www.baidu.com, most famous search engine in China.

It shows this:

^C — www.a.shifen.com ping statistics — 2 packets transmitted, 0 received, 100% packet loss, time 1008ms

The last address in that traceroute appears to be within China. It appears that the packets are traversing our network and our upstream providers but once reaching Chinanet they are being dropped.
