Mixed
Results vary across chinadialogue.net: of 6 URLs tested, 2 are blocked, 1 is disrupted some of the time and 3 load normally. The Great Firewall resets the connection and blocks the connection outright. 323 tests have been run under this domain since 2011-06-01, the most recent on 2026-09-20.
The two are filtered by different means — an unencrypted request by the address and keywords it carries in the clear, an encrypted one by the server name in its TLS handshake — so one working while the other does not is normal.

Plain HTTP and HTTPS differ here: http://chinadialogue.net is blocked, https://chinadialogue.net is intermittent. The two are filtered by different means — an unencrypted request by the address and keywords it carries in the clear, an encrypted one by the server name in its TLS handshake — so one working while the other does not is normal.
A VPN or another circumvention tool routes the request outside mainland China, past the filtering that blocks chinadialogue.net. GreatFire runs GreatFire VPN; the Analyzer also tests the domains of many VPN and proxy providers, so you can check whether one is reachable before relying on it.
