wiktionary.org

Mostly blocked

38 of the 40 URLs we have a verdict for under wiktionary.org are blocked in mainland China; 2 are not. The Great Firewall silently drops its packets so requests time out, poisons its DNS and resets the connection. 1,618 tests have been run under this domain since 2011-10-18, the most recent on 2026-08-17.

Plain HTTP and HTTPS differ here: http://wiktionary.org is intermittent, https://wiktionary.org 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.

About wiktionary.org and the Great Firewall

Is wiktionary.org blocked in mainland China?

38 of the 40 URLs we have a verdict for under wiktionary.org are blocked in mainland China; 2 are not. The Great Firewall silently drops its packets so requests time out, poisons its DNS and resets the connection. 1,618 tests have been run under this domain since 2011-10-18, the most recent on 2026-08-17.

Why does http://wiktionary.org behave differently from https://wiktionary.org?

Plain HTTP and HTTPS differ here: http://wiktionary.org is intermittent, https://wiktionary.org 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.

How can I reach wiktionary.org from mainland China?

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