Perhaps countries that have already blocked the Internet Archive? But Tor users can already access it through Tor without a hidden service.

If the IA itself was DoSed then wouldn't your relay stop working?

random guess: the servers are reached via anycast. if you DDoS from the US, you'll take down access from the US, but not from other regions.

It's not much of a DDoS if it's from a single country.

Isn’t the point of anycast to absorb the brunt of the attack? If your traffic is localized, maybe dropping the announcement for that PoP would be useful.
