Hi, I'm in Shanghai and can reach Github fine, and there are no engineers speaking about github being blocked within China.

Also, in Shanghai, also works fine without VPN. The GFW can vary by province. I remember HN being blocked in Shenzhen but not Shanghai six years ago.

There are a website called https://www.17ce.com/, it's a speed test service, but their server mainly located in China (Of course, it's a Chinese website), so it can be used to test status of some GFW blocks.

That website tells me GitHub is fine, and that's all, I guess.

This is the speed test result for Google.com https://imgur.com/eOoxthu

This is the result for GitHub.com https://imgur.com/T9o0U79 (Red == Delay was very bad)

If they’re blocking using DNS, maybe GitHub is still in cache for you?

I thought that also, but no, I can access it on my computer and my phone, so I think it's just an overreaction on OP's part.
