Scratch Website Cannot Open #4315
Comments
This is a problem with China's censorship and not scratch-www. |
Thx! But I can't open it. So plz print your screen to me |
Oh! ☹ Will it be fixed? |
If the ST change “country” into “location”, or combine the options, “China” “Macau” “Hong kong” and “Taiwan” into “China”, we will be able to access scratch again.
But however, this is impossible. Github remain unblocked because many Chinese programmers stay on this website, but we're ordinary students, blocking it will do little harm to them. |
OK thx |
I find the former far more likely than the latter, though if @BryceLTaylor stands by his statement in #4313 that it's "by design" then this is goodbye for Chinese Scratchers. |
Wikipedia says there are ways of getting around this. |
VPN? |
Sorry, Wikipedia has been locked in China |
I am sorry. I forgot that. This is what that section contains- Using a VPN service Changing IP addresses Using a mirror website Modifying the network stack Using Tor and DPI-resistant tools The Tor anonymity network was and is subject to partial blocking by China's Great Firewall.[178][179][180][181] The Tor website is blocked when accessed over HTTP but it is reachable over HTTPS so it is possible for users to download the Tor Browser Bundle.[182] The Tor project also maintains a list of website mirrors in case the main Tor website is blocked.[183] The Tor network maintains a public list of approximately 3000 entry relays; almost all of them are blocked.[182] In addition to the public relays, Tor maintains bridges which are non-public relays.[184] Their purpose is to help censored users reach the Tor network. The Great Firewall scrapes nearly all the bridge IPs distributed through bridges.torproject.org and email. According to Winter's research paper published in April 2012, this blocking technique can be circumvented by using packet fragmentation or the Tor obfsproxy bundle in combination with private obfsproxy bridges.[176][182] Tor Obfs4 bridges still work in China as long as the IPs are discovered through social networks or self-published bridges.[185] Tor now primarily functions in China using meeks which works via front-end proxies hosted on Content Delivery Networks (CDN's) to obfuscate the information coming to and from the source and destination, it is a type of pluggable transport. Examples are Microsoft's Azure and Cloudflare.[186] Unintended methods The mobile Opera Mini browser uses a proxy-based approach employing encryption and compression in order to speed up downloads. This has the side effect of allowing it to circumvent several approaches to Internet censorship. In 2009 this led the government of China to ban all but a special Chinese version of the browser.[187] Using an analogy to bypass keyword filters Using steganography Voices However, Nathan Freitas, a fellow at the Berkman Center for Internet and Society at Harvard and technical adviser to the Tibet Action Institute, says "There’s a growing sense within China that widely used VPN services that were once considered untouchable are now being touched." In June 2015 Jaime Blasco, a security researcher at AlienVault in Silicon Valley, reported that hackers, possibly with the assistance of the Chinese government, had found ways to circumvent the most popular privacy tools on the Internet: virtual private networks, or VPNs, and Tor. This is done with the aid of a particularly serious vulnerability, known as JSONP, that 15 web services in China apparently never patched. As long as the users are logged into one of China's top web services such as Baidu, Taobao, QQ, Sina, Sohu, and Ctrip the hackers can identify them and access their personal information, even if they are using Tor or a VPN. The vulnerability is not new; it was published in a Chinese security and web forum around 2013.[192] |
CAN reproduce! Also if anyone else in China whats to know why then here it is. |
背后肯定有教育机构,为了推广自己产品 There MUST be education companies trying to bring their product to eyesight. |
Okay, here is the thing:
|
However are you sure that it does NOT violates 反国家分裂法?(Sorry, translation currently not available). I think the ST might consider that if it violates LAWS! |
One last thing: If Scratch is censored in China, is it still welcoming Everyone? I am sure using VPN is a kind of ability so (quoted from the CG):
|
@tb148 Is that an American law? also "ability" here probably means whether they have disability or not, and not VPN. |
Oop |

Paddle2See, one of the moderator said in September 2019:
|
however, China mainlan’s users of scratch.mit.edu cannot view the page now. and maybe forever |
However HONG KONG IS NOT A COUNTRY!!! Changing the word to "location" also works and it is true that Hong Kong is a location. |
yes |
True! |
I agree with this, this would be a fantastic fix to the problem. #4316 can fix this issue, better merge it as soon as possible, or else this news will spread like wildfire in the community. |
Another fix would be to block projects/studios and censor keywords found in postings that are sensitive to Chinese policy if the site detects the user to be accessing in China. (Chinese person here.) |
However, Scratch has been blocked for two days by now, while my friends and I was doing our projects. |
嗯,我觉得中国政府太“直爽”了,什么也没想,被洗脑了,就把Scratch关了 |
一直都是这样的好吗,墙网站从不考虑的 |
不是洗脑的问题,反正违法内容一多不墙才怪呢,很少会考虑其他的 |
@52black 对,我们对这中国不是很满意,包括其他的事 |
我同意我不希望在国内的朋友不能在到scratch上 ( TДT) |
@mapmath 是因为香港(台湾)有一个独立的服务器 |
Hey, I think scratch website will not come back forever, you know, 'they' don't care about that beacause we just student.So lets stop this issue, do some thing more meaningful XD |
@waterblock79 |
当然,从这一行开始,就是设置国家和地区的了: |
但我不推荐再拉取一个请求,这样会更麻烦 |
是的 我们应该在github上建一个以前在scratch上的朋友圈 你们看怎么样呀 |
可以啊 |
是的,我们只能这样,没有其他办法 |
@Adamtimmy 你还好吗? |
我还好! 只不过最近有点累!@lyj-002 , @MapMaths 你们还好吗? |
@MapMaths 好的 但是它说“this is not the chat you were looking for" :( |
@Adamtimmy 可能邀请函过期了,现在应该可以了 |
@MapMaths 好的!现在好了!谢谢! |
可以不讨论了吗😂现在这里讨论的也不是“Scratch Website Cannot Open”了 |
@Adamtimmy 太好了,还能在这里跟你们讨论 |
😂😂👍👍👍说得对不讨论了,至少不在这里讨论了 ,你也可以加入上面的chat哟 @wrj2009 |
我们中国的GFW真是太厉害了!(自豪脸) |
You need to use an IP that cannot be catch by Chinese Distributions.(e.g. wired connection to LLK, but do you have a long wire?) |

I've opened Scratch in many browsers, but lost as always.
Here are examples of Microsoft Edge:
As above.
