I use Orbot, and every browser I have tried, Firefox and forks, Chromium, Webviews, these links give me a captcha that cannot be completed.

Does anyone else have this issue?

Please link to source in posts and UnTrackMe/UrlCheck/Leon will re-direct. I appreciate that posters give archive links but I cannot read them.

I have the same issue, but without Tor. For me it comes from using Cloudflare/1.1.1.1 as my DNS Resolver. Apparently they’ve been beefing with archive.is over some dns implementation specifics for some time.

I think some Cloudflare guy replied to a question about that on HackerNews some time back: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828317

Same. I just checked, and archive.is doesn’t work on CloudFlare’s 1.1.1.1 (one.one.one.one), but it does on Quad9’s 9.9.9.9 (dns.quad9.net).

I haven’t checked the rest, but that’s at least one privacy respecting DNS service that works with archive.is.

Ooh! Great find!

Would changing DNS fix this problem then?

If the Problem comes from the DNS configuration, then yes, probably. Might be coming from elsewhere, and just have the same symptoms as mine.

I don’t have this issue. I was just curious if chnaging DNS would fix the issue for OP.

Thank you for the link though.
