free.com.tw
Mostly blocked
18 of the 20 URLs we have a verdict for under free.com.tw are blocked in mainland China; 2 are not. The Great Firewall poisons its DNS, silently drops its packets so requests time out and blocks the connection outright. 496 tests have been run under this domain since 2014-07-01, the most recent on 2026-07-17.
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://free.com.tw is blocked, https://free.com.tw 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 free.com.tw. 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.
