proxy-list.org
Mixed
Results vary across proxy-list.org: of 3 URLs tested, 1 is blocked and 2 are disrupted some of the time. The Great Firewall resets the connection and silently drops its packets so requests time out. 175 tests have been run under this domain since 2015-01-10, the most recent on 2026-08-21.
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://proxy-list.org is blocked, https://proxy-list.org 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 proxy-list.org. 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.
