@LevZadov If they are blocking the Internet archive specifically, Archive.ph (and its mirrors) aren’t affected since it’s an entirely different service, not related to the Internet archive and its Wayback machine. Of course, those websites may try to block other archivalservices as well, including Archive.ph.
