Plain HTTP and HTTPS differ here: http://ohmynews.com is blocked, https://ohmynews.com is not blocked.

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