Hmm, no clue but if i ask 1.1.1.1 for the a record for archive.is i get 89.253.237.217

asking the office DNS the same question i get 51.38.69.52, asking 9.9.9.9 it gives me the same IP as the office DNS. Finaly asking google or 8.8.8.8 i also get 51.38.69.52

So i think their record is borked.

Supposedly Cloudflare uses a feature of DNS archive.* doesn't like, or vice versa.

Nobody cares; the reality is if you use CF DNS, shit don't work.

This is super misleading because it ignores the fact that archive.* goes out of their way to make CF DNS not work.

No, they go out of their way to make a system that can handle people trying to abuse it. Cloudflare doesn't like that system and refuses to help them.

> There have been numerous attacks where people upload illegal content (childporn or isis propaganda) and immediately reported to the authorities near the IP of the archive. It resulted in ceased servers and downtimes. I just have no time to react. So I developed sort of CDN, with the only difference: DNS server returns not the closest IP to the request origin but the closest IP abroad, so any takedown procedure would require bureaucratic procedures so I am getting notified notified and have time to react.

> But CloudFlare DNS disrupts the scheme together with all other DNS-based CDNs Cloudflare is competing with and puts the archive existence on risk. I offered them to proxy those CloudFlare DNS's users via their CDN but they rejected. Registering my own autonomous system just to fix the issue with CloudFlare DNS is too expensive for me.

Isn't the Internet full of major websites that need to be able to handle that kind of abuse? If what archive.* did were really necessary to do so, then why haven't any other websites needed to do the same thing?
