Ask HN: Archive.is Captcha Problems Lately?

>>mattta+(OP)
Check your DNS, there are issues using Cloudflare to reach archive.{is | li | today | etc }

Google DNS and others work where Cloudflare does not.

Using Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) vs. Google (8.8.8.8) I get different IP resolution:

  for u in archive.ph archive.is archive.li archive.vn archive.fo archive.md;
  do
      echo ">>> ${u} <<<";
      host -t A $u 1.1.1.1;
      host -t A $u 8.8.8.8;
  done

Results:

  >>> archive.ph <<<

Cloudflare: Fix your shit.

Nothing to fix. We are responding with what archive.* sends to us. They choose to send us incorrect data.
