Mixed
Results vary across lit.link: of 6 URLs tested, 1 is blocked and 5 load normally. The Great Firewall blocks the connection outright. 482 tests have been run under this domain since 2022-09-08, the most recent on 2026-09-22.
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://lit.link is blocked, https://lit.link 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 lit.link. 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.
