worldjournal.com
Mostly blocked
18 of the 21 URLs we have a verdict for under worldjournal.com are blocked in mainland China; 3 are not. The Great Firewall silently drops its packets so requests time out, poisons its DNS and resets the connection. 672 tests have been run under this domain since 2011-05-07, the most recent on 2026-07-23.
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.

18 of the 21 URLs we have a verdict for under worldjournal.com are blocked in mainland China; 3 are not. The Great Firewall silently drops its packets so requests time out, poisons its DNS and resets the connection. 672 tests have been run under this domain since 2011-05-07, the most recent on 2026-07-23.
Plain HTTP and HTTPS differ here: http://worldjournal.com is blocked, https://worldjournal.com 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 worldjournal.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.
