Why is CNFans down?
CNFans currently displays a maintenance notice. The site's own notice says it has been under persistent cyberattacks that the team has not yet fully brought under control, and that it is doing maintenance and upgrades to protect user data.
In practical terms that means the estimator, product pages, and checkout are unavailable right now, so you can't order through CNFans until it returns. No reopening date has been announced. You can use your saved product links to place a new order with another agent.
