pastebin.com
Mixed
Results vary across pastebin.com: of 23 URLs tested, 11 are blocked, 10 load normally and 2 have no conclusive recent result. The Great Firewall resets the connection. 732 tests have been run under this domain since 2012-02-07, the most recent on 2026-07-26.
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.

Plain HTTP and HTTPS differ here: http://pastebin.com is blocked, https://pastebin.com 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.
A VPN or another circumvention tool routes the request outside mainland China, past the filtering that blocks pastebin.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.
