For a while now, I've had infrequently occurring arcane cert/SSL issues connecting to archive.ph and its siblings, but trying a couple of links from the article I find I can't get past an endless cycle of "one more step" captcha protection - tried clearing all cookies and revisiting an old url, but to no avail.
DNS was ISP, not 1.1.1.1, and I get the same behaviour after switching to 8.8.8.8.
