This archive site has not worked for me even once, on mobile or desktop. I just get caught in a never ending captcha loop. Is it just me? EDIT: Figured it out - I stopped using Google's public DNS server and started using my ISP's DNS server, and now I can use the site.

Works for me. No captcha. Not using a VPN, on my work wi-fi on my android phone. Using chrome

  Home wifi. No VPN or DNS. Never works for me. Edit: Switched from Firefox with UBlock Origin to Chrome without adblocker and it worked.

    I'm on Firefox with ublock origin and it works fine. There is a setting in both Firefox and Chrome called "secure DNS" which will block access to archive if it is set to use cloudflare as dns provider. I think firefox uses cloudflare by default but chrome might not.

Do you use CloudFlare DNS by any chance?

  thank you thank you thank you! I had CloudFlare's DNS set up as my first ones in my list, and I got stuck in the Capthca loop. I replaced them with 4.2.2.2 and 8.8.8.8 and no more!

Captcha loop for me as well today, though I think it has worked in the past.

Archive.is owner blocks Cloudflare DNS because Cloudflare doesn't leak private information. https://jarv.is/notes/cloudflare-dns-archive-is-blocked/ https://jarv.is/notes/cloudflare-dns-archive-is-blocked/

It doesn't work with cloudflare DNS. Personally don't ever remember getting a captcha on archive.today.

I'm on plain old firefox, no issues or captchas at all.
