[return to "Does Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1 DNS Block Archive.is? (2019)"]

This is obviously not Cloudflare's fault, but I wonder why they don't just mask their identity (e.g. by using a random AWS IP address) when querying archive.is?

AFAICT this wouldn't "violate the integrity of DNS and the privacy and security promises we made to our users" and would solve a big pain point of using 1.1.1.1.

We’ve tried. The owner of Archive.is actively monitors and then returns bad results. This is true even if we recurse through another recursor. It’s a very odd hill to die on.

Have you guys considered just having the resolver not return anything? Such that my system would fallback to another resolver (such as Google or Quad9) and I wouldn't have issues accessing the site?

I guess that still has the privacy implications.. but at least it would work!
