Ask HN: VPN causing post to be [dead]?

3 points by tbenst 11y ago ↗ HN

Just posted this link, only to see it instantly listed as dead: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8594575.

Might this be because I'm in China and using a VPN? Never had a dead post before. Thanks!

Just answered my own question, I think: turned off the VPN and made this post which does not appear as [dead] to me. Can someone confirm?

Also, anyway for my previous post to have [dead] removed?

If I go to that link I see nothing :(
