    The archive.today captcha loop is their passive-aggressive way of complaining that your DNS provider isn’t using eDNS to send them approximate location information. It’s mostly being hit by firefox users because firefox uses a dns-over-https system which obscures location information by default. You can add exceptions to the DNS and HTTPS settings to get around it.

      Ah! I had seen something regarding DNS issues when I did a cursory search. I’m using private relay with safari (lurking via IOS app) so I imagine it’s similar. Thanks for the info!

      Or… don’t use an archive service that has a tantrum if it doesn’t have your approximate location… which you should Not be giving away to anyone, really.
