Arch Wiki has a new proof of work verification!

Hello everyone,
Today I tried to access the Arch Wiki using a VPN and then I saw this page. Is it just me or did you encounter this new proof of work verification, too?

gitlab.archlinux.org no longer allows access; maybe it's 'closed source' now.

All of the things that are happening right now when it comes to security, deployment or copyright/licensing is due to Valve. There's a deal in-place that was announced some time ago. https://lists.archlinux.org/archives/list/[email protected]/thread/RIZSKIBDSLY4S5J2E2STNP5DH4XZGJMR/
