List of websites blocked in Singapore

Main article: Internet censorship in Singapore

This is a list of websites that are blocked in Singapore. These websites are mainly unlicensed gambling, pimping (known as vice related activities), copyright infringement/piracy, and for spreading falsehoods. Some websites may be blocked because they are suspected scam websites.[1] However, websites that are blocked in Singapore are easily circumvented by a DNS change without the need to use a VPN.[2]

As of 2019, there were 202 vice-related websites blocked by Singaporean authorities.[3]
