Illidan's Castle of Runes

Wikipedia Blocked Again in Mainland China

It seems that the notorious Great Fire Wall (GFW) has been upgraded as it can even blocked https traffic now.

A few days ago I cheered for Wikipedia's being unblocked. However, it get even worse before long. Before this unblocking event, I was able to access Wikipedia via https protocol. Now I have no way to see Wikipedia any more.

Very well, just perfect! Everything goes English now, since I have to depend on Answers.com. Will the administration even block answers.com one day? (President) Hu knows.

And I just read from news that Wikipedia was (mostly) unblocked. Have you tried using open proxy or Tor?

Emm...

When Wikipedia was being blocked before the recent "unblocking" event, I heard a number of people on the Web talking about Tor. Since I was able to access Wikipedia by https protocol at that time, I didn't have a try on Tor. Now I'll have a try. For this is the last possible way to reach Wikipedia.

That's the main reason (or at least common reason used in examples) why Tor and similar tools are developed.
