• A very niche observation:
    last December I went to Shanghai with 'this' laptop, (W7, upto date Firefox, AdBlock Plus),
    and was unable to Log in to LFGSS as the Persona-based log in never resolved as 'Google is not allowed in China', (probably not the best words but an accurate-ish description).

    'This' laptop is now W10, upto date Firefox, AdBlock Plus, and has re-logged in under (?) Autho through my Googlemail account.

    If I go to China again, my limited understanding tells me I will once again be unable to Autho Log in as 'Google is not allowed in China'.

    Please correct any misunderstandings or presumptions I have made.

  • If you are able to check your Google Email through a VPN or any other method, then you will still be able to login by using the email login mechanism with your Google Email address.

    If you absolutely cannot connect to Google at all by any means, feel free to let me know and change to a non-Google email whilst you visit China.

  • Many thanks your answer,
    and its suggestions.

    Action 1) Find VPN 101 to ensure I cn explain to firms I represent what they need to offer,
    Action 2) I suppose I should stop freeloading from Googlemail and get a paid- email address.
