Blocked or unreliable in mainland China
instagram.com is on GFWList, the public list of sites blocked in China (matched: instagram.com). The list also covers sites that are not fully blocked but are regularly interfered with (GitHub, for example). Either way, set up a VPN before you arrive.

How this works
- Blocked: checked against GFWList, the community-maintained public list, plus our own list of major blocked sites.
- Chinese sites: checked against dnsmasq-china-list and the .cn domain.
- This is a list lookup, not a live test from inside China. Lists update daily (last: 2026-10-19).
