archive.is links have not been working for me for a while now. I wasn't sure if something was wrong with the site or what, but seeing this link posted here convinced me to do a bit of digging.
I have news: 1.1.1.1, aka CloudFlare's DNS, resolves archive.is to 127.0.0.5.
Live proof: https://digwebinterface.com/?hostnames=archive.is&useresolver=1.1.1.1 https://digwebinterface.com/?hostnames=archive.is&useresolve...
Archived proof: http://archive.is/utJfW http://archive.is/utJfW
Of course the moment I changed 1.1.1.1 to 8.8.8.8 in resolv.conf I was able to access the site again.
- leesalminen 7y ago1.1.1.1 has been acting up for me recently as well but haven’t had a chance to investigate. Glad to hear it’s not just me

- vsl 7y agoIt’s really archive.is acting up here...
- uj8efdkjfdshf 7y agoIt's over a disagreement between Cloudflare and the owner of Archive.is regarding the forwarding of EDNS metadata. See here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828317 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828317
- StavrosK 7y agoYes, there was some discussion a while ago here, CloudFlare says archive.is won't reply with the correct DNS to them and the author of archive.is says CloudFlare isn't passing the correct information to his server, and he refuses to change it. I don't remember details, I'm afraid, but it is an unfortunate situation.

- corford 7y agoNice find. archive.is stopped working for me recently and I just assumed it had disappeared. Now I know its because I happened to change my router's resolver from 8.8.8.8 to 1.1.1.1. Edit: Would be cool if archive.is implemented this comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19832572 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19832572 (from previous HN discussion on this)
