OTOH if the great firewall already blocks this site, wouldn't that mean normal Chinese citizens would access it through a VPN via another country?

The great firewall does already block this site, and I cannot view it now without turning on my VPN. Therefore this site is pretty useless to me currently, but someone has to fight the censorship. Maybe one day it will actually succeed?

If normal citizens had access to a VPN in which to access this site from another country, it would be quite redundant to use this site then wouldn't it? Maybe I'm not understanding.

If normal citizens have access to it without a VPN, then why doesn't China just block it with the firewall instead of ddosing?

Maybe I'm not understanding.

Yeah, no -- my fault. I wrongly assumed it was some type of proxy or way to get around the great firewall.
