> Not necessarily. Another explanation is the the firewall has only
blocked the IP address of one of the proxies. When you use Snowflake, you
are assigned one of the available proxies randomly. As you browse, your
proxy might change. It may be, that after 40 minutes you were assigned the
proxy whose IP address is blocked.

We're also doing some probe tests of snowflake proxies from China here:
#30368
So far it looks like there are still unblocked snowflake proxies, but I'll
post results once we have more data points.
Also, fwiw, 40 minutes is a long time to go without having gotten a
blocked proxy. My guess is that you were randomly assigned a different
proxy that happened to be blocked due to #25429 at the end of that time.
