>Archive.today actively sabotages requests from CloudFlare / Quad9 users.

Can you explain more about exactly what you mean by this?

I will say that today, for the first time in a long time, I seem to be able to click this link and actually get the page to load... But it has been an issue for a long time.

But, as an explanation: https://jarv.is/notes/cloudflare-dns-archive-is-blocked/

> ... Archive.is’s owner is actively refusing to resolve their own website for 1.1.1.1 users because Cloudflare’s DNS offers too much privacy.

Weird. It's a first for me as well (Cloudflare DNS and getting through to archive.is).

Some VPN providers provide free dns that is just as “fast” and doesn’t block archive today. If you’re using unbound/pihole. You can set archive today domains specifically to use some other dns, but everything else remains cf.

Do you have an alternative you prefer?

Please do not try to impose your preference on others. You are free not to click the link.
