What you want is a website that answers: Does Country-C block Website-W? A user gives it a URL and it has VPNs surfacing in lots of different countries and it tries them all, and displays in which countries the URL is blocked.

The website also stores and records all blocked/unblocked websites, and allows this data to be downloaded.
