archive.is and archive.fo are using CloudFlare. Is the TorBrowser add-on cfc useless now?
Hi Yawning, hi all,
sorry if this is old news, but I just noticed that archive.is not only redirects me to archive.fo (which I noticed before), but archive.fo now greets me with a CloudFlare captcha.
Considering that cfc was created in order to evade the CloudFlare captcha, this is quite a disappointment. Is cfc useless now? Can it be fixed?
David F suggested using Memento which I think is an interesting idea, having participated in one of their hackathons. One caveat: Memento would point to to various archives not all of which might be suitable.
What is the reason why archive.org is not used? I hear they are almost done setting up an onion service for the Internet Archive.
Cheers, C:

It was a proof of concept that I no longer have time to work on.

Because, out of all the similar services that are available, I like archive.is the most.

Dear Tor developers,
there is a new development in the area of Tor-friendly web archives:

Fair enough.

Two weeks ago, an Onion Site for the Internet Archive was announced: http://hackerfactor.com/blog/index.php?/archives/750-Freedom-of-Information.... Some tech people at the Internet Archive were informed well ahead of this announcement, and they are happy with it. I expect this Onion Site to remain stable for quite a while. I have not hacked a Firefox extension before, and I would be glad if somebody else came forward to modify cfc accordingly.
Cheers, Christian
