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.

iPhone, works for me after the captcha.

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.

What does one have to do to get past the captchas? These never, ever work for me.

Try using a different DNS server. It worked for me after switching away from Google's public DNS server (8.8.8.8).

TL;DR: TFA’s a rehash, with nothing new. Flagged as a dupe.
