Notepad++ has apparently been blocked by Chinese authorities

https://www.theregister.com/2020/08/17/n...a_blocked/      Notepad++ website sent to China's naughty step after 'Stand with Hong Kong' software update
Ho boy, here we go again
Mon 17 Aug 2020 // 20:03 UTC      The download page for veteran code wrangler Notepad++ has apparently been blocked by Chinese authorities after its website posted a message in support of those opposing China's so-called national security law.

The message appeared alongside a mid-July "Stand with Hong Kong" release of the editor and, according to the outfit's social media orifice, the download page was banned in China for alleged "illegal content."    "It's after the release of the Stand With Hong Kong edition on the 16th July," developer Don Ho told The Register. "The screenshot I published came from a Twitter user in China on 12 August. I've never been contacted by Chinese government."
