Tell HN: Archive.today Partially Inaccessible

from the self-post dept.

Since beginning of november, maybe since end of october archive.today is being inaccessible in Estonia. Tested in different devices and networks. There is endless captcha cycle. Same happens with orher archive.today domains, like archive.ph.

That issue isn't only Estonian related. Similar problem seems affect web.archive.org. Last time archive.today was successfully accessed (redirected) was 3 october. Manually archiving gives error "Cannot resolve host archive.today."

This happens to me in the US if I use certain DNS servers to connect. Have you tried switching up your DNS servers?

Testing with different ISP-s involved ISP provided resolvers and directly using archive.today nameservers. I know that archive.today has previously blocked common public resolvers, like 1.1.1.1. That case they replied with 127.0.0.4 or other loopback IP addresses.
