Hi Thread!
Thank you all for your patience, as I know we are all quite frustrated by the block 
.
Our long-term fix is to change the OCSP URL in newly issued certificates. As one might imagine, this is not a simple nor immediate change. We have plenty of work to do before this will roll out, but in the end we will be using a URL which isn’t affected by the current Akamai map segment which is blocked in China. We plan to make the URL shorter, as well!
Watch for threads in the API Announcements Category for more information as our timeline becomes clearer.
