Chess.com in China

According to this website http://www.blockedinchina.net/?siteurl=www.chess.com, chess.com is blocked in China.  I am going to work in Beijing for 5 months, and it would be a shame if I cannot access this site.  Does anyone know whether there is a way to access chess.com. Anyone here from China?

@kiore11, Michael : see the forum named "Connection from China", from 13/14 months ago, in which I mention in posts numbers 11 and 15 solutions, that might help you as well, a.o. about VPNNinja and others.

Good luck ! Ger.

When I was in China visiting my grandparents, I tried to access Chess without VPN and it works, well kind of cuz it feels slower than a slowest processor, so I used a free working VPN for faster access.

You can test if you can access specific websites in China with this website, I used it before going to China, making sure I have contact outside world legally, and it turns out I need NordVPN, which is the only legal VPN in China.

You know that this thread is 10 years old right? The forum creator probably doesn't need it anymore.

Chess.com is not banned in China. In fact, it works perfectly fine
