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.
I assume that's because the IP range of your company network overlaps with a range used by some scrapers, and if it doesn't happen on your phone even in the corporate network, then IA probably checks some extra signals like the user agent in addition to the IP
Are there any decent/reputable residential proxy companies? I’m pretty sure I’ll end up needing one occasionally, for those days when my residential IP has a poor reputation score.
No, they are all grey-market. Some have more professional-looking websites, but they're all using the same proxies. This should not prevent you from using them.
