❓What to Do If Your Domain Is Blocked?

A blocked domain usually indicates that it’s inaccessible in some areas, likely due to being blocked by the Great Firewall (GFW). Here are several approaches to address this situation:

  1. Confirm Whether the Domain Is Actually Blocked
    Start by using tools to check, such as running a ping command or testing the domain’s accessibility through online services (e.g., feige301.com). If it’s confirmed to be blocked, proceed to the next step.

  2. Switch to a New Domain
    If you control the website, consider registering a new domain and migrating your site’s content to it. Choose a new domain name that avoids sensitive keywords to reduce the risk of it being blocked again.

  3. Use a CDN Service
    By leveraging a Content Delivery Network (CDN) like Cloudflare, Akamai, Alibaba Cloud, or Tencent Cloud, you can distribute your website content across multiple nodes, which may sometimes bypass the block. Enabling CDN acceleration features can dynamically change the IP address, potentially resolving the issue temporarily.

  4. Change the Server IP
    If only the IP is blocked, contact your server provider to switch to a new IP address and update your DNS settings. However, if the domain itself is targeted, changing the IP might only be a short-term fix.

  5. Set Up a Mirror Site or Alternative Access Methods
    Create a mirror site (same content, different domain) or notify users through platforms like Telegram or email about alternative access options, such as using a VPN or proxy.

  6. Adopt Decentralized Technology
    Consider deploying your website on a decentralized platform (e.g., IPFS). A distributed network makes it harder to fully block access, allowing users to reach your content.

  7. Client-Side Solutions
    If you’re a user rather than the site administrator, try using a VPN (e.g., NordVPN, ExpressVPN) or proxy tools (e.g., Shadowsocks, V2Ray) to bypass the block. The Tor network is another option, though it may be slower.

The best method depends on whether you’re the website owner or a visitor, as well as your technical skills and available resources. If you’re the site administrator, it’s also wise to analyze why the domain was blocked (e.g., due to sensitive content) to prevent the new solution from being blocked again.
