  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)

    How is it enforced? IP or DNS?

    According to this site <a href="https://bandaancha.eu/articulos/gobierno-tiene-lista-web-oficial-11138" rel="nofollow">https://bandaancha.eu/articulos/gobierno-tiene-lista-web-ofi..., they use SNI (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Server_Name_Indication)

    Enabling ESNI in Firefox should be a countermeasure (encrypted SNI extension of the TLS so that hostname is no longer sent in plain text)

    It's not magic. archive.is has no HTTPS record, so ESNI cannot be used.
