redd.it
Mostly blocked
10 of the 11 URLs we have a verdict for under redd.it are blocked in mainland China; 1 are not. The Great Firewall silently drops its packets so requests time out, breaks its TLS handshake and poisons its DNS. 198 tests have been run under this domain since 2016-07-13, 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.

About redd.it and the Great Firewall
10 of the 11 URLs we have a verdict for under redd.it are blocked in mainland China; 1 are not. The Great Firewall silently drops its packets so requests time out, breaks its TLS handshake and poisons its DNS. 198 tests have been run under this domain since 2016-07-13, the most recent on 2026-07-26.
Plain HTTP and HTTPS differ here: http://redd.it is not blocked, https://redd.it is 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 redd.it. 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.
