Here's a mirror whose URL is more petty-tyrant firewall friendly https://archive.fo/7x6Ui

I don't click on links such as reddit/r/funny or something, but torrentfreak I consider on topic enough as an IT security consultant that I click it and will defend its legitimacy if ever questioned. The site reports on internet freedoms in an uncensored and to the point manner that I like a lot.

If you have a fascist firewall, consider using Tor with the FascistFirewall=1 setting (https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/tor-manual.html.en#Fasc...).

What do you mean? TorrentFreak is a news site.

His employer's filters might be blocking it since it includes "torrent" in the url.

That's a pretty common rule in Schools and Universities, for example.
