Mixed
Results vary across nature.com: of 27 URLs tested, 4 are blocked, 2 are disrupted some of the time, 19 load normally and 2 have no conclusive recent result. The Great Firewall resets the connection. 708 tests have been run under this domain since 2011-05-27, the most recent on 2026-07-22.
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.

Results vary across nature.com: of 27 URLs tested, 4 are blocked, 2 are disrupted some of the time, 19 load normally and 2 have no conclusive recent result. The Great Firewall resets the connection. 708 tests have been run under this domain since 2011-05-27, the most recent on 2026-07-22.
Plain HTTP and HTTPS differ here: http://nature.com is not blocked, https://nature.com 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 nature.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.
