ChatGPT was not blocked by the GFW when it first released for a few weeks (if not months, I don't remember), but at that time OpenAI already blocked China.

The geo check only happened once during login at that time, with a very clear message that it's "not available in your region". Once you are logged in with a proxy you can turn off your proxy/VPN/whatever and use ChatGPT just fine.
