About wikipedia.com and the Great Firewall

Is wikipedia.com blocked in mainland China?

Every URL under wikipedia.com that we can reach a verdict on — 30 of them — is blocked in mainland China. The site itself, https://wikipedia.com, is blocked. The Great Firewall poisons its DNS, silently drops its packets so requests time out and resets the connection. 1,257 tests have been run under this domain since 2011-03-26, the most recent on 2026-07-13.

How can I reach wikipedia.com from mainland China?

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