Recently discovered this project but unfortunately the server has been blocked in my environment. Need a backup means of transport to reach the server in case the server was unreachable.

China, using ISP China Telecom, behind a very unreliable firewall that additionally blocks a bunch of websites.
I can open yaler.co in Firefox, but when using MassBrowser I got "Error connecting to server". In Wireshark there is a successful HTTP request and then no connection be made.

Ummmm ... I see MassBrowser uses HTTPS to connect to yaler.co. I think I got it wrong in Wireshark. But it might or might not work. Perhaps my firewall blocks the subsequent TLS connections?

Seems to be some intermittent DNS poisoning against yaler.co, mostly I think because of the firewall. Added it to hosts and worked fine (showing "Invalid invitation code" since I don't really have one). But fronted server connection is still a desirable feature.
