Really wish archive.is and Cloudflare could get over their problems, since I use cloudflare's DNS resolver, none of these links work. Oh well.

Saying this as a Cloudflare investor, CF is in the wrong here and not spec compliant.

Choosing not to supply Client Subnet is entirely valid. Most services don't. But archive.is doesn't block those other services only Cloudflare. How "strange".

It's outside of my expertise. I just know that both sides have opinions and there's backers for both. Would be nice if there was an alternative to archive.is - outline?

archive.org gets my vote.

How is not supporting an optional extension "not spec compliant"?

Thank you, I had no idea that's why these links haven't been loading. Just switched back to google's resolver (8.8.8.8).

Yeah, you can find more information on this standoff here:

There's some HN posts about it as well.

I love that the eDNS stripping Quad9 service isn't blocked. Presumably because the owner of the service hasn't realized they strip eDNS.

One workaround is to manually add an entry to your hosts file such as:

  37.1.202.102 archive.is

It works for me and I'm using Cloudflare DNS. 1.1.1.1/help confirms this and I just loaded the archive.is link.

Hmmm I just noticed that too.
