I’ve used these sites in the past to get around article paywalls, but for weeks now I haven’t been able to get past the captcha. I fill it out correctly and it just reloads. Anyone else having this issue? Know a good alternative?

    archive.today and Cloudflare don’t get along with each other – as an example, if you’re using Cloudflare DNS (1.1.1.1), then all of the archive.today servers “can’t be found” on a pretty regular basis

        I use Adguard’s public DNS servers. Pick unfiltered if you’re doing adblocking locally, use one of their filtered DNS servers if you want ad blackholing.

        • for the archive.today servers, often it’s just a matter of patience – refreshing the page an hour later can sometimes be enough for Cloudflare to suddenly “find” it again
        • for DNS servers, there’s a LOT of options out there, it’s generally a matter of finding one that suits your tastes – if you really want to get technical, apparently it’s possible to roll your own …

    I don’t even use cloudfare’s 1.1.1.1 but get into that captcha loop anyway. Worked for some weeks but since about 1 week it’s all captcha and no bueno. I have given up.
