anybody else have issues with archive.is lately? Tried two computers multiple browsers and all I get is a never-ending security check, sometimes with a captcha to really laugh at me.

As in 1.1.1.1? I don't use 1.1.1.1 for my DNS provider and yet I still get the never ending validation loop.

I am on Google Fiber though, so I probably use 8.8.8.8 without explicitly meaning to. Perhaps this is a problem shared by both Cloudflare and Google's DNS proxies?

I use a Google mesh network and get the same issue, which I assume is related to it using 8.8.8.8 by default.

If you’re on iOS / Mac and have Apple private relay that would also use 1.1.1.1

Oh interesting, good to know. I don't use Apple private relay so that wouldn't be the problem for me.

It's not Cloudflare, it's the owner of archive.is intentionally messing with CF DNS so you can't access the site if you use it.

I think it’s more general than this, but I have a hunch that iCloud private relay sets off the security gremlins.

Just put the fixed IP addresses for the various archive.?? domains in your hosts file. This completely resolved the problem for me.

Even easier: Switch your browser's DNS-over-HTTPS configuration to another DNS provider. NextDNS works OK for me.

Great suggestion. Have just done this now too.

For Windows users, YogaDNS is a great little app for managing DNS configuration. Can set up DNS rules depending on domain name etc.

I actually use PiHole and added Local DNS entries for the archive.* domains in my PiHole config to fix the issue across my local network.

can you paste the relevant /etc/hosts lines

Re:Binance founder Changpeng Zhao agrees to step down, plead... by codetrotter on Tuesday November 21, 2023 @02:20PM (#38368569)
IP addresses might vary depending on geo location or time. Here is what I get from DNS currently, that you can put in your /etc/hosts

51.38.69.52 archive.is archive.today

41.77.143.21 archive.ph archive.li archive.vn archive.fo archive.md

And if all else fails, install Tor and access their site at archiveiya74codqgiixo33q62qlrqtkgmcitqx5u2oeqnmn5bpcbiyd.onion

I have a lot of trouble when I use the search on archive.is, even if I use different DNS providers.

One trick that might help: I have found if I use a bookmarked page from archive.is, I can get to that. From there I can put in the original URL in the "Saved from" bar, and hit "Search", then I can usually get to an archive of the article.
