  Please stop using archive . today and its other domains.

  In the past, they prevented Cloudflare DNS users from resolving the site, because Cloudflare didn’t forward EDNS data that would allow Archive.today to dox users.

  And recently, they embedded malicious DDOS code into their captcha that would cause visitors to unknowingly DDOS someone.

  They are extremely shady and no one should be using them.

    I’d take an alternative if you’ve got one. Otherwise, unless there’s a serious change for the worse, I’m probably going to keep posting them. Sorry!

      Here’s your alternative:

        You know that’s not a real alternative. I wish it was – it’d make all of this a hell of a lot easier to navigate. But it just isn’t.

    Hmmm, thats why mullvad is blocking them?

      I don’t think Mullvad is blocking anyone. I’m not sure if Archive . Today is still doing what they did in 2023, but if they are, it would be more correct to say Archive . Today is blocking you for using Mullvad’s DNS servers.

        I can’t access to archive websites with mullvad vpn activated, with the dns blocking everything.
