Is archive.is/today/ph working for anyone today? Yesterday .is and .today were giving me an eternal CAPTCHA but .ph worked. Today .today and .ph are giving me an eternal CAPTCHA while .is loads the website, but tries to redirect to .ph with an eternal CAPTCHA when I click on the snapshot link.

Makes me think whoever runs this is trying to fix something really annoying.

I've found this is because my ISP uses Cloudflare DNS; when I switch to mobile (on my phone or tethering) it's fine.
I have that problem too on my comcast home internet, looping captca for archive.is. I figured it was dns lookup. Is cloudflare blocking it somehow?

And I also noticed using my phone internet works for archive.is. I want to figure out how to avoid cloudflare or whatever blocking me. I need a simple dns rule I can put in my router or something.

My recollection is that it is the opposite: Cloudflare and archive.is have disagreements about DNS, and as a result archive.is blocks Cloudflare.
I get the looping CAPTCHA in my office, but not at home.
