GFWList is the canonical community-maintained blocklist of censored domains used by proxy tools to bypass the Great Firewall of China. It is distributed as a base64-encoded gfwlist.txt file that proxy clients subscribe to for routing decisions.
Use cases
- subscribe to a proxy auto-config rule list for circumventing censorship
- get blocked-domain list for Shadowsocks or SwitchyOmega
- find CDN mirrors of gfwlist.txt accessible from China
- report newly blocked websites to a censorship circumvention list
- maintain a PAC file with up-to-date blocked domains
When to choose
- you need the canonical, widely-supported GFW blocklist for proxy clients
- you want a community-maintained list with anonymous PGP-encrypted submission
- your proxy tool supports autoproxy/gfwlist format subscriptions
When to avoid
- you need per-application or IP-based routing rules rather than domain lists
- you are outside a censored network and have no use for proxy routing rules
- you need real-time updates, since the list is batch-updated after testing
