31-01-2019: CN pool is about to fail

We provide two to the CN pool, and they’ve had scores around 20 throughout the last 24 hours. I couldn’t believe the number in the CN pool is down this low right now (5 at time of posting).

I can only conclude that monitoring is absolutely screwed, and no progress has been made on matters discussed in Adding servers to the China zone and other threads (e.g. monitoring CN servers that are hosted behind the GFW with a monitoring station behind the GFW). I get that this is a volunteer project, but while the problems continue, we’ve got around a dozen volunteers propping up the zone by pulling in the order of 1Mpps of traffic around the globe.
