Upon clicking your link I realized that:
>>>sci-hub.se uses an invalid security certificate.
>>>The certificate is not trusted because it is self-signed.
>>>Error code: MOZILLA_PKIX_ERROR_SELF_SIGNED_CERT
I accepted the risks and proceeded:
>>>The requested URL /10.1098/rspa.2020.0469 was not found on this server.
I hacked the URL to reach the home page of that site and was greeted with this message:
>>>The website you want to visit is blocked! The block is a claim from the Patent and Market Court. It is the result of a lawsuit initiated by the Dutch scientific publisher Elsevier, in a lawsuit against Bahnhof and six other Swedish internet operators.
Sci-Hub.se is not blocked; your ISP is blocking you from Sci-Hub.se. I can access it fine; I suggest you take it up with your ISP.
You could try the sci-hub.st or sci-hub.do domains instead; according to Sci-Hub’s Twitter account¹, those are also official domains where Sci-Hub can be located.
Unfortunately, http://scihub22266oqcxt.onion/ seems to be inaccessible at the moment, as is https://whereisscihub.now.sh/ which used to show at what site Sci-Hub was currently readable.
(Also, changing the URL is not, IMHO, “hacking”.)

Oh dear. Thx for letting me know.
