One thing about that site is that it is owned by a Russian and Finnish IPs are blocked from accessing it. Here's some context https://gyrovague.com/2026/02/01/archive-today-is-directing-...

Edit: I did a web search and it seems to go even further back. There are discussions online about archive.is blocking Finland already 10 years ago. But the block was definitely off between then when it was put back on earlier this year.

Blocking / infinite CAPTCHA loops seem to revolve. Sometimes Cloudflare DNS they don’t like. Can be country blocks too.

Right now it’s top notch here. Would say more but don’t want to give bots an abusable profile :)

Are you using Cloudflare's DNS (1.1.1.1)? If so, it won't resolve[1].
