Cloudflare and archive.is apparently don't agree on how to implement DNS, so if you're using 1.1.1.1 (like myself) you'll get an error. This is the explanation I had seen elsewhere and I was like "Yep, that applies to me." (I assume it's happening with all variations of the archive site including archive.ph)

I found this^1 by searching around HackerNews, seems like a relatively decent overview of what is happening. Kinda paints the archive team in a not-so-great light, in respect to privacy considerations, in my opinion.

Ahh, interesting. I do indeed use 1.1.1.1, in part because of DNS-over-TLS that it supports. Thanks for the link.

Is 1.1.1.1 like open source DNS? I used 8.8.8.8 (4.4.8.8?) for a long time when ISPs sometimes we're flaky, any pointers for what to use nowadays?

[–] dingus@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

8.8.8.8 is Google's DNS, which is not very privacy respecting of which sites you access. 1.1.1.1 is Cloudflare's and it is a lot more privacy-respecting while still being imperfect. However their track record in the privacy/security community is currently quite good, so it's up to you if those imperfections are a problem or not.

It’s not open source, it’s DNS run by Cloudflare. It’s a privacy-oriented DNS service. You can read about it here: https://blog.cloudflare.com/announcing-1111/
