Servers might be down, or your internet provider block those specific sites.

Come Bloody Angel

Break off your chains

And look what I've found in the dirt.

 

Pale battered body

Seems she was struggling

Something is wrong with this world.

 

Fierce Bloody Angel

The blood is on your hands

Why did you come to this world?

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

Everybody turns to dust.

 

The blood is on your hands.

 

The blood is on your hands!

 

Pyo.

But there is no reason ifixit should be banned, since it doesn’t have any sensitive contents......

Then the servers are probably down.

zh.ifixit.com works fine from the states.  Try using a different dns, like 1.1.1.1


Also, how did you find Linus Tech Tips without youtube?  Their Bilibili channel?

I have already heard Linus since I was in junior high school. There was no Bilibili channel back to 6 years ago ( I’m a senior high school student now), and only a few videos was translated by Chinese fans of Linus, so I jumped for joy after hearing that an official channel of LinusThchTips was registered in Chinese video websites like Bilibili and Youku. Actually his Bilibili channel gives us a chance to learn more about LMG, and it helps Linus to win a lot of new fans in China.

 

It works! It is so kind of you to help me, thanks a lot!

You do know Chinese companies and universities use vpn all the time for them to make cheap knock offs, sell/do bussiness overseas, reverse engineer/steal foregin technology and what nots right? The ban is mostly for Chinese mainstream consumers and proffesionals who need access to foregin websites have access to vpn services.

The website isn't banned. For it to be banned, it must be 30 days consecutive error messages. Use a laptop to access the site instead. iPhone and safari sucks. 

 

问题是iPhone和safari，用用你的电脑。

DNS error? I thought apple was blocking the website so you can't repair the phone on your own and must use their repair center.

I love how some people jump to the Great Firewall instead of offering sound advice. Glad to see it was a DNS issue and @Fez_Boy was able to provide a correct answer. 

I do recommend in the future, whenever you have network issues to always try an alternative DNS, as well as a VPN if you can. I know things can be a bit odd in China, but those 2 main tools have helped me troubleshoot a lot of networking issues in the past.

Sometimes nothing worked, even though DNS was fine, and VPN failed too, and it was just a gateway (router) restart that was needed. That's not a bad test either for the future.

Good luck with your repair, and happy computing!
