How to use firebase sdk with China

[jeff...@zappoint.com]

Hi all,

While trying to using android sdk firebase-auth:9.0.2 to allow user to auth with email and password.

FirebaseAuth.signInWithCredential(EmailAuthCredential) is not working,

because China has blocked the *.google.com and *.googleapis.com.

I try to use a workaround to this issue by get my auth-token by posting email/password 

to my own proxy server to do the auth part for me.

But the firebase sdk will check strictly about the auth endpoint.

Is there a way to make the sdk can work with proxy ?

Thanks,

Jeff Huang

Jeff,

Despite it being illegal, the only way I have found is with the use of a VPN, I have found most successes with https://www.astrill.com/

Another China quirk: I have found I can browse to sites hosted on firebase just fine on the desktop Chrome, but the same sites are blocked on Chrome for iOS.

I so badly wish google would settle its beef with China
