China’s firewall has been well documented throughout the history of the internet. greatfirewallofchina.org has come up with a test to see if a site is currently blocked by the .cn firewall. So what could be more fun then seeing if a site thats been dormant for three months and makes a point of not discussing politics is blocked? (yes, I know…lots of things…work with me, people, mmk?) The answer is of course China’s firewall doesn’t bother blocking roclar.net. Ah well. Maybe one of the two people still reading will have better luck. |

Not even my defunct left-wing political site is blocked, much less any of my other personal sites.

That site isn’t coming up from me. I guess I firewalled the greatfirewall :\

greatfirewallofchina.org seems rather slow. I have had to try it a couple of times to get it to come up.

It comes up really slow. If the site itself doesn’t come up, I had better luck canceling and retrying rather than waiting.
However, the test itself simply takes a long time. It always returns results, but it may be 5-10 minutes later.
I did find that one of my “business” sites is banned. Sweet! At first I thought it was because it links to several governmental sites. But those sites themselves aren’t blocked. I just don’t get it.
