I'm among several HN members who're experiencing an endless ReCAPTCHA loop when attempting to access Archive Today (<https://archive.today> a/k/a AT) or any of its various domain aliases:

- <https://archive.ph>

- <https://archive.is>

- <https://archive.li>

- <https://archive.vn>

- <https://archive.fo>

- <https://archive.md>

All resolve to 23.137.248.133 for me.

This has been noted in comments: <>>37136514 > <>>37132089 > <>>37105936 >

As well as an earlier HN story submission: <>>37077049 >

As a practical upshot, as AT is the principle viable workaround for paywalled articles on HN, which means that HN is now left without a reliable option for such submissions. This becomes a policy issue for HN itself.

Amusingly, I'm getting a stuck "checking connection" when trying to connect to Cloudflare's own corporate website:

<https://cloudflare.net/governance/board-of-directors/person-...>

If anyone happens to have Matthew Prince's direct email, could you ping him on this thread? Cloudflare's own support process is broken and I find no email contacts.

Thanks.
