I’m in Shanghai right now…Google’s DNS (as well as OpenDNS) work fine for many domains, but ones which are to be blocked (eg: a lot of the Witopia VPN endpoints) just either hang or I see an immediate reset of the connection.
I’m seeing less DNS blocking and more per-URL blocking compared to a visit here last year, with the exception of the witopia.net end points (which were blocked by the ISP at the hotel I was staying at, but are not blocked by the ISP at my expat–friend’s home)
