cnn.it
Mixed
Results vary across cnn.it: of 25 URLs tested, 5 are blocked, 19 are disrupted some of the time and 1 loads normally. The Great Firewall resets the connection. 830 tests have been run under this domain since 2014-06-04, the most recent on 2026-07-06.
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://cnn.it is intermittent, https://cnn.it is blocked. 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 cnn.it. 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.
