Trying to visit this on my phone, all I get is a poorly formatted “one more step” page that asks me to complete a captcha that loads mostly off the side of the screen so I have to scroll to see it, which makes it jump around. Whenever I manage to beat the captcha, it just redirects me to archive.is, which looks exactly the same and I have to beat another captcha, and the whole process begins again.


Supposedly this happens if you use the cloudflare DNS server or iCloud private relay (which uses cloudflare as one of its providers).


archive.today do NOT have a CAPTCHA or reCAPTCHA on their sites.

You are seeing - DNS hijacking (DNS poisoning, or DNS redirection) : https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNS_hijacking
