<br>
The server we operate in Guangzhou was indeed reachable from outside <br>
China. This is not the intention, of course. On Saturday, when we got <br>
notification about this, we withdrew the prefix from the server, and we <br>
are communicating with the host to solve this.<br>
<br>
Many people have already said this, but I'd like to make it clear that <br>
the K-root server was NOT emitting false responses for Facebook and <br>
WhatsApp. The responses were being modified by something between the <br>
server and its clients.<br>
