Real-Time Testing of China's Internet Filters

mrbnsn writes "The Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard Law School is conducting a study of Internet filtering in countries worldwide. As part of this study, they have put up a web page where you can get a real-time report on whether any URL you submit is blocked by the Great Firewall. Check whether you'd be able to read your favorite web sites in Beijing!" I've also heard that there are some "western" hotels that have non-blocked connections. Anyone from China care to tell us what it's like?

Testing complete for http://www.goatse.cx. Result:
Site not reachable from US testing location. Check URL and web server.

I guess somebody up in the Chinese government got tricked into going over to goatse.cx and got a real scare...
