Is it just me or are other people being denied archive/cloudfront pages due to the CDN capacha? Every time I complete the CAPTCHA it doesnt't leave that page.

  Change your DNS - Cloudflare and archive.today do not play nice - (think, David vs Goliath) Search; 2023:'public-dns' Take Control of your DNS

    This isn't David vs. Goliath. archive.is blocks Cloudflare DNS because Cloudflare doesn't pass EDNS subnet information. This has been addressed directly by the Cloudflare CEO on HN before: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828702 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828702

      Cloudflare (CF) is a large Conglomerate. - Archive.Today (AT) is perhaps a single person. - Hence David vs Goliath. CF could easily pass on the EDNS subnet information to allow AT to load-balance using its own CDN. CF has made what appears to be a specious claim that they do not pass on the information to protect an end-users security. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19829155 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19829155 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19831439 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19831439 In my honest opinion, Both CF and AT are acting in an infantile manner with no attempt to mitigate this issue for the end-user. Which ever way you look at this problem, the average end-user is hurt/damaged, perhaps it is past time for regulatory body(s), Legislators to cast an eye on anti-competitive stifling of competition.

I'm guessing someone severely broke their site. I can't even visit https://archive.is https://archive.is without hitting a never-ending captcha loop.

I've seen it work a few times. Most of the time it totally fails. Definitely wouldn't recommend anyone use this captcha service.

Yes. I get the same. Infinite CAPTCHA. It's done that on several computers now. Even in private browsing mode, clear cookies, clear cache.

This is on purpose, the owner of archive hates cloudflare and purposely sabotages anyone who uses their DNS
