About mail.ru and the Great Firewall

Is mail.ru blocked in mainland China?

Results vary across mail.ru: of 24 URLs tested, 11 are blocked, 1 is disrupted some of the time, 11 load normally and 1 has no conclusive recent result. The site itself, https://mail.ru, loads normally.

How can I reach mail.ru from mainland China?

A VPN or another circumvention tool routes the request outside mainland China, past the filtering that blocks mail.ru. 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.
