- brudgers 3y agoMaybe it would be better to report the issue the issue to archive.org because I can’t fix it…as much as I would like to. Or maybe to your ISP? Or VPN host if that’s involved?

- zenexer 3y agoarchive.today isn’t associated with archive.org. It’s run by one guy who has a grudge against Cloudflare and gets angry when you use their DNS or anything that proxies your requests through Cloudflare, include iCloud Private Relay. You end up on a page that looks vaguely like a Cloudflare challenge, even though it’s his own doing and has nothing to do with Cloudflare. If you’re on iOS, just open it in any browser other than Safari. Other browsers don’t get provided through iCloud Private Relay.
- fragmede 3y agoto be fair, I'd block visitors to my site if serving those visitors could result in legal action that would force me to take the site down. I hope I'd be a bit less juvenile about it, but it's not my site.
- zenexer 3y agoHis gripe has to do with EDNS ECS (or lack thereof), not takedowns.
- brudgers 3y agoNevertheless reporting the problem to archive.org would still be at least as effective as reporting the problem to me. Anyway, for what it's worth it works fine on my iPhone using iOS Safari.
- zenexer 3y agoYou would need iCloud Private Relay enabled to encounter the issue. Even then, you don’t get a say in which edge provider you get routed through: it may be Cloudflare, or it may be someone else (e.g., Akamai). It’s up to Apple.
- brudgers 3y agoSorry for being confused, I didn’t realize I would need to make things complicated in order to give myself problems to complain about.
- zenexer 3y agoThe trouble is that most people who have it enabled don't realize. If you're paying for iCloud+, it's likely enabled. I'm not suggesting anyone should be complaining to you, though--I'm just explaining why some people encounter issues visiting archive.today links and providing them with a workaround (disable iCloud Private Relay).
