Does anyone else have captcha issues with archive.is these days? I just hit an infinite loop of repeated asks to solve a captcha. This is a relatively recent issue.

Here's an alternative link from the Internet Archive:

Cloudflare DNS stopped resolving Archive Today (.is) a few weeks ago. Probably related to this disagreement from 2019.

FYI if you get stuck in a captcha loop, try an audio captcha, it'll tell you that there's an error and you can't proceed, but for whatever reason the visual captcha will happily keep you clicking on signs and traffic lights even though you can't ever pass.

Often the cause seems to be the captcha service itself getting too much traffic end not your IP or browser.


Are you using Apple Private Relay? I think there is an issue with them and Cloudflare.


I just tested.

Firefox, Chrome, Brave for Android and Firefox for Windows - infinite loop

Edge for Windows - no captcha


No captcha at all? So you are directly „verified”?


Yes, no captcha at all. On my other laptop, captcha infinite loop for both Firefox and Edge.


Yes! Thank's for the link!
