Every time I visit an archive.today link from HN I get stuck in a weird pseudo-CloudFlare/ReCaptcha “prove you are human” page, and every time I click “I am human” the page reloads. Are these real?

archive.xxx wants your rough geolocation for 'reasons' (picking a server for your reply has been given) Cloudflare DNS referrals strip this (for your privacy says Cloudflare)

Screw you Cloudflare, says archive.xxx, we will penalise your referrals.

This has been the real ongoing result of using Cloudflares 1.1.1.1 DNS resolver for 12 months or more now.

I figured out how to fix this in Firefox

Settings | Privacy & Security | DNS over HTTPS | Increased Protection | Choose Provider | NextDNS

Thanks for this! It’s been bugging me for weeks
Try NextDNS all the time, on all your devices... it's fantastic!
I experienced this recently as well on archive.is / archive.ph.
