Mixed
Results vary across greycoder.com: of 13 URLs tested, 1 is blocked, 8 are disrupted some of the time and 4 load normally. The Great Firewall silently drops its packets so requests time out and breaks its TLS handshake. 455 tests have been run under this domain since 2012-11-20, the most recent on 2026-07-18.
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://greycoder.com is intermittent, https://greycoder.com is not 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 greycoder.com. 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.
