Can you define "block" ? The archive.is owner do a lot of fake blocking behaviour if they don't like your IP , if you try to use an anonymizer

I mean that the page doesn’t even begin to load. I get early and often Google reCAPTCHAs on archive.is and its mirrors under normal operation over HTTPS/Tor, but I was referring to the site not loading in at all, and getting some kind of PTR/SSL error iirc when it happens, which is most/all of the time when using US VPN exit points over HTTP(S). I don’t experience these errors at all over Tor, because their Tor site doesn’t use certificates. I run HTTPS-only mode in the clearnet, so perhaps others don’t experience this issue on their machine(s), but I don’t want any kind of MITM and/or downgrade attacks to slip through the cracks, just in case.
