About now.com and the Great Firewall

Is now.com blocked in mainland China?

35 of the 39 URLs we have a verdict for under now.com are blocked in mainland China; 4 are not. The site itself, https://now.com, is blocked. The Great Firewall poisons its DNS, silently drops its packets so requests time out and breaks its TLS handshake. 1,109 tests have been run under this domain since 2012-06-16, the most recent on 2026-07-28.

How can I reach now.com from mainland China?

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