Introduction #

When a domain is blocked (e.g., inaccessible in certain regions), forwarding links can be used as a potential solution to restore access.

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.

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:

What Domain Redirect Services Are Available for Blocked Domains?

Below is a list of common redirect services and solutions for blocked domains, based on currently available information and widespread practices:
