> archive.org is blocked (along with other nsfw type sites), but as the last post in your link to an earlier discussion says, I could get it unblocked by filling in a declaration that I'm over 18. Paying by credit card isn't enough to unblock automatically for this particular package

That's something to do with your provider. Maybe you need a non-crappy provider.

You do not need to provide any kind of declaration that you're over 18 to access archive.org in the UK.

See comment from another UK resident further down. I suspect it depends on the contract you have, and quite possibly when the contract started.

It appears to be something to do with using PAYG SIMs for mobile broadband. Back when I lived ten minutes from one of the largest cities in the country I used 4G, but didn't run into this or their CGNAT crap because I tunneled out to a sane ISP.

Given that you can buy a SIM that'll give you a couple of hundred GB of data for under a tenner, it seems reasonable that they'd block stuff you didn't want young children getting access to (easily).
