How do I check whether a proxy server is blocked in China?

Website Pulse has a tool for checking whether a website is blocked, but my proxy servers don't have web front end. Short of getting my own China-based proxy, what are my options?

A: 

Your options are :

  • make the data go through china (experimental solution)
  • get your hand on the chineese blacklist (which I doubt you can obtain) (theorical solution)

To get the data to go through China you have the following options :

  • use an available chineese proxy (google china and proxy)
  • have a script on chineese server or a server behind a chineese proxy tell you if it works
  • have someone in China make the test
  • be in China

If you can't do any of those, you can't check it.

Silence
As I suspected. I was hoping there was a more comprehensive tool like the Website Pulse one, but I guess the silence speaks for itself.
