Ask HN: Archive.is Captcha Problems Lately?

#1

Post by matttah »

Anyone else having problems lately with archive.is taking you to a captcha, you solve it and then it just keeps redirecting you back to the captcha over and over. Happens to me in chromium, a friend just tried in firefox and had same problem.

Today is happening to me on a link from another thread which was to https://archive.is/gwuFp

In case anyone comes back to this. I noticed I get redirected to the archive.is domain and that's when I wind up in a captcha loop.

When I get captcha'd, the archive.is resolves to 198.23.187.186

I cleared my DNS server cache and got new IPs for archive.today and archive.ph but the same address for archive.is. I tried the OPs link, got redirected to .is and got captchas.

I cleared DNS server cache again and got 89.253.237.217 for .is (along with more new IPs for .ph and .today). No captchas.

Captcha loop here as well. Both from FF and an ungoogled Chromium with no add ons that I keep just for these situations. DNS is the unsecured quad9 9.9.9.10 Secure DNS is likewise https://dns10.quad9.net/dns-query Console shows error 429

And sure enough, if I disable secure DNS and change the DNS server to my ISP's, it works.

Assholes.

Check your DNS, there are issues using Cloudflare to reach archive.{is | li | today | etc } Google DNS and others work where Cloudflare does not.

Interesting ...

Using Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) vs. Google (8.8.8.8) I get different IP resolution:

  for u in archive.ph archive.is archive.li archive.vn archive.fo archive.md;
  do
      echo ">>> ${u}
Results:

  >>> archive.ph >> archive.is >> archive.li >> archive.vn >> archive.fo >> archive.md
Cloudflare: Fix your shit.

Nothing to fix. We are responding with what archive.* sends to us. They choose to send us incorrect data.
