This kind of blows my mind about this, and I'm surprised that everyone seems to be focused on conspiracy theories about Cloudflare instead of the apparent situation that archive.is is intentionally breaking fundamental behavior of the internet because they don't they aren't getting information they want from Cloudflare.

Internet protocols were designed to be redundant and resilient, so that things still work when things break and traffic takes other paths. When people do shit like this, we get a less reliable, less functional internet. Demanding to know the exact subnet a request originated from, and returning incorrect results when that information is not given, seems to me a thoroughly hostile behavior on the part of archive.is.
