FYI: archive.is doesn’t resolve for people using cloudflare dns.

This was the case a while ago, but this has been fixed, I am able to resolve archive.is to the correct ip using 1.1.1.1

Hmm, you sure about that? You might be getting results from a fallback DNS server.

  Address: 8.8.8.8#53

  Non-authoritative answer:
  Name: archive.is
  Address: 94.16.117.236

Thank you I have been wondering where archive.is went

What's the reason for using cloud flare dns?

Fast and much more private than your ISP or local coffee shop router. Still doesn't stop these middlemen from snooping on browsing destinations, but it's a step closer.
