    Wow, but I wonder if there's more to it.

    I've not been able to access web.archive.org from my work computer - I always get the 429 error.

    But I then pull out my phone and can access it just fine. All along I was assuming my company was blocking it. Still weird that it happens every time from my work PC and never from my home one.

      Could be due to some scrapers from either your work ISP block, or the larger block which lends IPs to multiple workplaces.
