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.
Thanks, but I already know how to switch DNS and tried that with different DNS resolvers. Flushed DNS caches, too. I'm out of ideas and don't care anymore (well...that last one is a lie 😄)
