it’s a fake Cloudflare interstitial, actually using reCAPTCHA. seems like the owner has some sort of vendetta against Cloudflare after the DNS stuff

I'm familiar with the beef he has with CF, but why put up the fake cloudflare interstitial to me the end user who is just trying to use his service. I remain confused...

The "idea" behind it I guess is to make people angry at Cloudflare and not realize it's not CF's doing.

try vpn. i think archive.is blocks at least Finland

"blocks" is a generous way of putting it. it puts you into an infinite recaptcha loop. i would rather just see a message saying i am blocked.
