About lse.ac.uk and the Great Firewall

Is lse.ac.uk blocked in mainland China?

Results vary across lse.ac.uk: of 17 URLs tested, 10 are blocked, 6 load normally and 1 has no conclusive recent result. The Great Firewall resets the connection. 454 tests have been run under this domain since 2011-07-21, the most recent on 2026-07-10.

Why does http://lse.ac.uk behave differently from https://lse.ac.uk?

Plain HTTP and HTTPS differ here: http://lse.ac.uk is blocked, https://lse.ac.uk 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.

How can I reach lse.ac.uk from mainland China?

A VPN or another circumvention tool routes the request outside mainland China, past the filtering that blocks lse.ac.uk. 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.
