Ask HN: Advice on how test a website as a user in mainland China?
4 points by neillyons on Jan 30, 2020 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
I have a website that is blocked in mainland China, but using Google as an example here on Hacker News how do I simulate being a user from mainland China?

I tried using HideMyAss VPN with the Beijing location selected but the website still works.

Webpagetest.org [0] shows the correct result of the website being blocked, but is there a VPN or some other way of testing?
