About telegram.org and the Great Firewall

Is telegram.org blocked in mainland China?

19 of the 23 URLs we have a verdict for under telegram.org are blocked in mainland China; 4 are not. The site itself, https://telegram.org, is blocked. The Great Firewall silently drops its packets so requests time out, poisons its DNS and blocks the connection outright. 1,000 tests have been run under this domain since 2014-07-29, the most recent on 2026-08-09.

How can I reach telegram.org from mainland China?

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