A domain being blocked (i.e., rendered inaccessible, typically by the Great Firewall) is not always the result of a report. Restrictions on network access are usually caused by multiple factors, such as government policies, cybersecurity considerations, or technical routing issues. In certain countries and regions, specific websites or services may be blocked to control information flow or for security reasons. Therefore, if you encounter a situation where a domain is inaccessible, it may not necessarily be due to a report. The reasons for a domain being blocked can vary and may include the following scenarios:

When a domain is blocked (e.g., inaccessible in certain regions), forwarding links can be used as a potential solution to restore access. When a domain is blocked, users in the affected region may be unable to visit it directly. To circumvent this restriction, forwarding link technology can be employed. Specifically, by setting up an unblocked intermediary server (such as a URL forwarding service), requests to the blocked domain can be redirected to another accessible domain or server, effectively bypassing the block.

Domain blocking refers to a situation where a domain is restricted by a firewall (e.g., the GFW) in certain countries or regions. If your domain is blocked, government or regulatory bodies employ technical measures to limit or block it, making it impossible for users to access the corresponding website or service via standard internet connections. This renders your domain inaccessible in the affected region, typically due to stringent cybersecurity and internet governance policies. Below are the potential consequences of a domain being blocked:
