Someone usually will have archived the article there.
If you feel a bit more ambitious you could make a bot that runs on a vps somewhere and automatically scrapes news articles.
Otherwise you could use a privacy hardened firefox version along with some kinda proxy.
I would say you could rent your own vps, use a vpn service that maintains their own servers, use a decentralized vpn (these are a new development) or just use someone else’s wifi that you don’t also use with your „real“ identity.
Opsec can be hard to maintain but boy is doing so fun.
Archive.is runs Tor through a Cloudfront captcha which fails consistently in my experience.
Chief value of (public/general) VPNs seems to be 1) accessing region-zoned content or 2) protection against local-segment interception.
The benefit of 2) is balanced against the fairly strong probability that the VPN provider itself is heavily surveilled or actively aiding in monitoring activities.
Just tried it now and works for me.
It is an annoying captcha, it had something like five steps to complete, but I've seen worse. I'd rather this captcha than the one that Roblox uses.
I agree that turning on JavaScript with Tor is risky from a security viewpoint. It significantly increases the risk that your real identity may be unmasked.
They‘re like tor where anyone can run their own node, but unlike tor there is a financial incentive to run them because they come with built in payment processing solutions via cryptocurrencies.
Some people are skeptical of cryptocurrencies but I consider this to be an excellent use case:
Securing coordination between actors that don’t necessarily trust each other through market incentives.
This would incentivize people to run their own nodes and it would be less like tor where most exit nodes are allegedly run by intelligence agencies.
