That is ironic. Here [1] is an alternate link.

archive.is kind of has the same issue, so maybe the Web Archive is better. [2]

Are they also blocking Tor?

They request a (JavaScript) captcha completion every time I've checked.

Odd. I have never enabled Javascript for archive.is, especially since with it enabled they have some resource link to mail.ru and since I block .ru on my DNS it times out. The lack of requiring Javascript is the reason I use that site. I have both uBlock and NoScript blocking javascript.

Tor exit nodes are abused as tools for DDOS attacks. We had to block them too.

To be fair, tor is a really crappy network to orchestrate a DDOS attack. On the other hand some sites just can't take much traffic, especially if it is a consistent inflow of requests. It may be that somebody just used tor as a proxy to crawl your website and it crumbled.

I happen to speculate this because I may have used tor for web crawling, which may have caused a specific site to crash before I cut back the crawl rate. Punishing tor for such incident is mostly FUD.

Sounds like people abused the tech to the point they had to take action. This is one reason we can't have nice things.
