[return to "Why does 1.1.1.1 not resolve archive.is?"]

I'm with some of the people on Twitter: It seems weird (to put it mildly) to just blackhole your own site with no explanation whatsoever to the end-user. For everyone on 1.1.1.1 archive.is will now be "down" and they're none the wiser.

Maybe there's a big backstory here, but without context that seems passive-aggressive and quite random?

What's especially weird is that they're returning "127.0.0.3" to Cloudflare's DNS, rather than a DNS SERVFAIL or REFUSED error. On most systems that will cause a connection refused error or a TCP timeout. I would assume that was a network issue on their end, not a DNS problem.

SERVFAIL or REFUSED is also not helpful to the end user. They should return the IP of a host serving a static single-page website explaining the issue.
