  • When will the index scheme be updated to accommodate more than 10000 URLs listed in each search?
    Anonymous

    I plan to index the whole archive using elasticsearch and use it also for url-search.
    No exact date yet.

  • Answer this already with absolutely no bullshitting, lying or talking non-sense: what is the real reason for blocking Finland and when will you unblock it? If answer to previous question is "never", how can ANYONE trust this site anymore?
    Anonymous

    Presumably, never.
    My view on the trust issue is different: it is better to sacrifice the global availability a bit (it is far from being 100% anyway) than to censor the content.

    Not yet.
    You can try archive.org, webcitation.org or scribd.com.

  • Few hours ago, an user found XSS vulnerability on both archive.org and archive.is.

    Page https://archive.is/VSGzW saved from https://archive.org/search.php?query=1XSS&sort=-publicdate<svg%20onload=confirm(/XSSPOSED/)> contained executable javascript.
    The bug is fixed.

  • You are blocking Finland based users. Not so smart to punish people for with you think is government based excuse of yours. And we do have F-Secure Freedom and lot's of proxy's on the web. You are not so smart with this move you made.

    It seems I just created a good page to buy the F-Secure ad-space :)
    There is also Opera Turbo, for free.

  • If you end up blocking tor, only block archiving not viewing archives.

    In case if the number of abuses increases it may end up in pre-moderated submissions from Tor .
    So far they are post-moderated with special attention to ones made from Tor IPs.

  • It can be both slow and fast, but it still fit for that guys needs. You won't block Tor right? Can't imagine that many wikis that are blocked in Finland but he still has his VPN if he needs it. On the other hand Hola might get your real IP blocked in wikis and other websites when other users abuse hola acting as your IP adress.

    No, I do not block Tor.
    Although there is a good reason to block it - child pornographers make copy of theirs websites (which, as they correctly predict, disappear soon) - there are some users who take care on their privacy: those who store defaced websites, etc.

  • Warning about Hola, stay away from that software because it makes you an exit node for other people. for more info. google "adios hola". If you need to reach a blocked website use Tor browser.

    It is slow and Tor exit IPs are banned on many websites.
    And you cannot edit wiki using Tor.

  • Hi, do you know why archive got blocked in Finland? People (including me) cant access archive and instead are getting a message on screen stating that the website is forbidden to be used in Finland. Even when using a VPN service like ZenMate I have not been able to bypass the block. Is there a way to fix this?

    Try hola.org
