Start.me has been blocked in China since October 2024 due to internet restrictions imposed by the Chinese authorities. We have not received any official notification or reason for this action.
Start.me is a neutral bookmark management service with no political or sensitive content. We have reached out to authorities through official channels but have not been able to resolve the block.
Workarounds
If you are in China and need to access Start.me, the following options may help:
VPN: Use a legal VPN service to route your traffic through a server outside China. This is the most reliable workaround.
Mobile data: In some cases, mobile networks may have different filtering than fixed-line connections. Results vary by carrier and region.
Note
VPN usage is regulated in China. Make sure you comply with local laws when using a VPN or other circumvention tools.
