Ask HN: Is archive.today/is/md/etc. compromised?

It is now redirecting to a page that is owned by 5oh.ru, this is not the first time this happened btw, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43490423.

Sad to see this happens as it performs much better than archive.org

Still working fine here.

I see you have noticed this has happened before, I did recall the same when I saw this ... the bottom post talks about too many requests - if not your many visits, probably shared IP pool or something.

works for me, would be interesting to see what IP addresses it is redirecting for you, hopefully you are not using a malicious/compromised DNS server?

VPN's DNS server from reputable service from here https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/. I should have tried visiting this website using Tor browser too at that time, archive.today doesn't even load for me right now using my VPN...

archive.today, archive.is, and archive.md are all working correctly for me now.
