What’s the deal with all these archive.is links? All they do is send me to infinite capcha loops. I don’t get it.

    Important to note: for their anonymity, not yours.

    Do you preserve archivers’ privacy? E.g. not disclose the source IP address?

    Yes.

    But take in mind that when you archive a page, your IP is being sent to the the website you archive as though you are using a proxy (in X-Forwarded-For header). This feature allows websites (e.g shops or the sites with weather forecast) target your region, not mine.
