The link for downloading WhereHows VM is unaccessable

[leopoda]

Seems the link below to download WhereHows VM is unaccessable:

https://linkedin.app.box.com/wherehows-demo-in-cloudera-vm

Could anyone help to provide a valid link?

It works for me. What does it show after you open the link?

@SunZhaonan
thanks for your quick responding.
When I open the link, the page shows an error code: ERR_CONNECTION_TIMED_OUT. I tried many proxy servers, but no help :(

I also ping the domain name for the download link, seems the IP address 93.46.8.89 is unreachable:

$ ping linkedin.app.box.com

Pinging linkedin.app.box.com [93.46.8.89] with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.

I guess it's because China's GFW block *app.box.com domain ：link

On my machine:

$ ping linkedin.app.box.com
PING linkedin.app.box.com (74.112.185.87): 56 data bytes
64 bytes from 74.112.185.87: icmp_seq=0 ttl=53 time=23.406 ms
64 bytes from 74.112.185.87: icmp_seq=1 ttl=53 time=22.123 ms
64 bytes from 74.112.185.87: icmp_seq=2 ttl=53 time=20.438 ms

I'll try if I can upload into 百度云盘 or 网易云网盘.

app.box.com is indeed blocked in China 👎

I mapped the IP 74.112.185.87 to linkedin.app.box.com in the hosts file, and the URL can be accessed now.

Thanks very much for the help.
