Hi , guys!  
I’m in china, so I can’t connect [ipfs.io](http://ipfs.io).  
is there a way that I can connect to ipfs when I use js-ipfs.  
Now, I can add file to local ipfs and can’t load by dweb.link/ipfs/cid。  
I search the log .and shows [node.preload.ipfs.io](http://node.preload.ipfs.io) connect error.  
I think it’s the node is offline from ipfs network becuse local node can  
not connect to ipfs.  
is there a couple of nodes that I can use to connect ipfs network?  
thanks guys!
