      I live in Spain and can still enjoy access to this site. This is enforced by major ISPs (Vodafone among others), so anyone sane just opts for a local ISP (if they have a choice)

        It also doesn&#x27;t seem to be enforced on my Movistar connection, which means the single biggest ISP is opting out?

          Nor on Vodafone for me, 3rd biggest ISP in the country. Guess that leaves us with Orange or possibly Digi as the second one that maybe actually has implemented the block?

            Orange is not blocking it on my fiber yet but it is on my mobile connection.

            The strange thing is I use the same DNS on both (which exits on my fiber connection, even when I&#x27;m on mobile), so they must be blocking it another way.

            Digi is not blocking archive.today on fiber or mobile, I just tried it (Sept 21 ~11AM). However they do block a bunch of the libgen URLs, so I assume they&#x27;ll eventually block this too, it&#x27;s just a matter of time.

          It was blocked for me on O2, which is part of Movistar - have you tried it now?
