Cannot connect to github

I'm in China and cannot pull, clone or push to github. I'm using a vpn but it still doesn't work. I'm working home from my computer, so it can't be my firewall. I also tried to turn it of briefly, but it didn't change anything.

fatal: unable to access '': Failed to connect to github.com port 443: Timed out.

I've tried setting and unsetting proxies, without success. I've googled for at least a couple of hours, but without prevail.

Any help would be very appreciated and valuable to me.

One Google Search came up with interesting results..(Is github accessible in china)

On January 21, 2013, GitHub was blocked in China using DNS hijacking. Confirming the block, a spokesperson for GitHub said: "It does appear that we're at least being partly blocked by the Great Firewall of China".

I hope this clears things up for you :)

If your git was already set to something and you only copied that folder to some other location, simply run:

git config --global http.proxy ""

And you can pull again :)
