New, by me: Russian authorities say they have blocked access to Archive.today, a popular paywall removal site.

The sites appear blocked when I checked earlier (thanks @redteamwrangler for flagging), but was still able to access the sites from other devices and networks.

Russian authorities block paywall removal site Archive.today | TechCrunch

A notice on the popular paywall-bypass website Archive.today said that access is blocked "by decision of public authorities."

BTW: The link in your article to the listing for archive.is goes to http://192.168.1.250/real-time-html/Archive.is, which is an RFC1918 address and thus not correctly reachable from the Internet.
