To use it, all you have to do is copy the URL of the page you want to test and paste it into the text box above. Once you do this, the URL is sent to servers in different locations across China. This is where the server app tries to open your URL and reports back the results in real-time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b1a11ee e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b1a11ee\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ff9d8b5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"ff9d8b5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.vpnmentor.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/scan.svg\" title=\"\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-357ae33 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"357ae33\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-ddf0bce elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"ddf0bce\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">FAQs on The Great Firewall Test<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-67f2fef elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"67f2fef\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<section class=\"faq container\"><div class=\"faq__inner\"><h3>? Is it illegal to use a VPN in China?<\/h3><p>While using non-government-approved VPNs isn&#8217;t officially allowed in China, there haven&#8217;t been any public reports of tourists facing penalties for using them. However, it&#8217;s important to remember that VPNs don&#8217;t grant immunity to local laws. Accessing blocked websites or engaging in illegal activities remains prohibited, regardless of using a VPN. We strongly advise against using a VPN for any purpose that violates local regulations.<\/p><h3><i class=\"fa fa-question_icon\"><\/i>? What websites are blocked in China?<\/h3><p>Some of the most popular websites that are blocked in China are Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, Twitch, Wikipedia, Gmail, Google, Reddit, Whatsapp, Spotify, foreign news sites, and more. You can\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vpnmentor.com\/blog\/the-complete-list-of-blocked-websites-in-china-how-to-access-them\/\" name=\"Test_The_Great_China_Firewall-1372221564\">check out the full list of websites blocked in China here<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p><h3><i class=\"fa fa-question_icon\"><\/i>? How can I get around the Great Firewall of China?<\/h3><p>VPNs are an easy way to change your virtual location, essentially allowing you to access the internet as if you were somewhere else. For example, if you\u2019re in China and use a VPN to connect to a server in the US, it will seem like you\u2019re browsing from the US and you\u2019ll be able to access your favorite websites.<\/p><p>However, not all VPNs work in China. So, we perform daily tests to check which VPNs can bypass the Great Firewall.\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vpnmentor.com\/blog\/best-vpns-for-china-verified-list\/\" name=\"Test_The_Great_China_Firewall-390563471\">The VPNs on our list<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0can access Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and more.<\/p><p>It&#8217;s also worth noting that China imposes strict regulations on VPN usage, with only government-endorsed VPN services being legally allowed. However, these services cannot be trusted as they enforce the same blocks the government does and likely shares your data with them too.<\/p><p>Notably, there have been no publicly-reported cases of tourists facing penalties for using non-approved VPNs in the country. That being said, be sure to check China&#8217;s latest laws and stance on VPNs before using one.<\/p><p><strong>Insider Tip:<\/strong>\u00a0If you\u2019re traveling to China, make sure that you download a VPN in advance. Most VPN websites will be blocked once you enter the country so you won\u2019t be able to get them.<\/p><h3><i class=\"fa fa-question_icon\"><\/i>? Why is China blocking so many websites?<\/h3><p><strong>The Chinese government censors online content for political reasons.<\/strong>\u00a0As part of The Golden Shield Project, many sites and services are blocked so local companies won\u2019t have to worry about competition from overseas.<\/p><p>The government works together with local internet service providers to block online content using advanced technologies such as URL filtering, DNS poisoning, IP blocking, and deep packet inspection. This intricate censorship system is known as The Great Firewall of China.<\/p><p>This means that while you\u2019re in China, you won\u2019t be able to access major websites and applications such as Facebook, Google, Twitter, YouTube, WhatsApp, and many more. However, there are\u00a0<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.vpnmentor.com\/blog\/best-vpns-for-china-verified-list\/\" name=\"Test_The_Great_China_Firewall-775491547\">VPNs that can give you access to the content you need while there<\/a><\/strong> \u2014 you can keep up with international news, and your social media accounts, and use messaging apps like WhatsApp. You\u2019ll be able to access any site that failed our Great Firewall Test with the right VPN.<\/p><\/div><\/section>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d0d91a3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"d0d91a3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Was this helpful?
