Both pages show me only a captcha, and if I solve it they just show me another one. Is there a working alternative?

    Just a heads up: according to this post, Archive[.]is/.today/.ph is currently serving up malware to visitors, essentially using your traffic to DDoS another target.

    From the linked thread:

    The DDoS attack runs as JavaScript code in the browser of visitors of archive[.]today websites. Effectively this abuses the devices and abuses the devices of visitors for the attack. Effectively this abuses the devices of visitors for the cyberattack, which makes it a lot more challenging to block on the recipient’s side. Someone knowingly participating in a botnet may also be guilty of Computer sabotage" according to § 303b StGB in Germany or similar laws.

    This is currently still ongoing, as visiting the CAPTCHA sites still delivers JavaScript code for the DDoS, to access the targeted site many times. Most commonly used content and ad blockers like uBlock Origin should already be filtering this by default, but we can’t expect everyone to use them, especially on mobile devices.

    It seems like your IP might be in some blacklist causing the captcha loop. Have you tried using cellular data?

      I’m not using VPN. It happens with mobile internet and landline. Have yet to try my employers connection.

    Works for me. Is the domain blocked where you are? Or is your browser/vpn/etc making the page fail to load?

    I don’t know of anything that comes close to archive. today. Web.archive.org if you’re lucky will work for your site.

    Considering I don’t see a captcha at all and the page works fine, sounds like a you problem. Get off your VPN and try again.
