160810 21:10 (UTC+8) We called ISP for details, but still no useful information, possible reason is some vpn clients did something illegal takes police's attention or ISP cut down our line on 'some agent''s request. The server may down for few days, we are preparing another DC in case we can not resume Beijing network in a week.
160812 14:05 (UTC+8) We get some information from the network team leader finally let us know what's going on. ChinaUnicom is doing inspection in this month, which included some request form police, some customers in Beijing DC is running VPN business which is marked as high risk to ISP so they decide to cut down our line. If we continue running the service, police may take over the server due to abuse activities on the IPs.
After discussed with ISP manager, we are pretty sure we cannot get the link back in next few weeks, which means we have to move all things in Beijing. Maybe we can get the Beijing location again in next few months, but impossible for now.
