Weird how? A bunch of people lately have had similar complaints that amount to a DNS provider blocking the site. I wish they would say who their ISP is, because it seems to be a big one if so many people are hit. Somebody also mentioned mobile was a particular problem.
If it's DNS, then you need to use an alternative DNS provider. Cloudflare DNS is free and popular, and since they serve so much traffic anyways, I guess there's a limited impact to privacy.
"It appears archive.today doesn't like Cloudflare DNS because Cloudflare doesn't allow archive.today to geolocate users. So maybe solving a captcha is a compromise, but then it's just an infinite loop of captcha. That's shit."
I don't think it's DNS. My connections to them resolve, but the data is super-slow/unreliable.
I should clarify: archive.is occasionally blocks me, and I have no idea how, and using a VPN gets around. catbox is unreliable, but it's not clear there's any kind of blocking going on.

Alternatively, use a VPN.
