It was reported by users that HTTPS block in China was only for Wikipedia, thus the following change is proposed, given the current policy of having the best security while trying to keep access for logged-in users in China. 'wmgHTTPSBlacklistCountries' => array( 'default' => array( 'IR', // Iran ), 'wikipedia' => array( 'CN', // China 'IR', // Iran ), ),

Hmm... it's even blocked in the other way for some other sites: https://zh.greatfire.org/zh.wikisource.org (blocked) https://zh.greatfire.org/https/zh.wikisource.org (not blocked)

Liangent: Willing to come up with a patch?
'wmgHTTPSBlacklistCountries' => array( 'default' => array( 'IR', // Iran ), '+wikipedia' => array( 'IR', // Iran ), ), ^ I guess that's the patch...
Change 84781 had a related patch set uploaded by Reedy: wmgHTTPSBlacklistCountries changes for CN https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/84781
Change 84781 merged by jenkins-bot: wmgHTTPSBlacklistCountries changes for CN https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/84781
(In reply to comment #7) > Change 84781 merged by jenkins-bot: > wmgHTTPSBlacklistCountries changes for CN > > https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/84781 Is this correctly patched & deployed? It seems zhwikibooks behaves correctly but wikidatawiki and commonswiki don't. It seems we should use 'wikipedia' instead of 'wiki' or it might be a suffix match.
Liangent: Situation is still as described in comment 8?
(In reply to comment #10) > Liangent: Situation is still as described in comment 8? OK but it's reported by users that HTTPS is not blocked at all now...
Liangent: Did your "OK" mean "Yes" or "Oh well"? :)
(In reply to Andre Klapper from comment #12) > Liangent: Did your "OK" mean "Yes" or "Oh well"? :) I can't check it now but per user reports, the current situation is that: * Desktop sites: no block at all * Mobile sites: all projects are blocked ... and this can't be described with our configuration array. :/ Should we still be playing this cat & mouse game?
