Ask HN: What happened to archive.md/is/ph/vn?

I noticed a lot of HNers using archive.md (or its other mirrors like archive.vn or archive.is) to get around soft paywalls on certain submitted news articles. However, none of these archive sites work anymore (or work sporadically), returning SSL errors or DNS errors. Does anyone know what happened?

Works for me. Do you have CloudFlare DNS? https://blog.archive.today/post/681415425930723328/%D0%BF%D1%96%D0%B4%D0%BA%D0%BB%D1%8E%D1%87%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BD%D1%8F-%D0%B4%D0%BB%D1%8F-%D1%86%D1%8C%D0%BE%D0%B3%D0%BE-%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%B9%D1%82%D1%83-%D0%BD%D0%B5-%D0%B7%D0%B0%D1%85%D0%B8%D1%89%D0%B5%D0%BD%D0%BE https://blog.archive.today/post/681415425930723328/%D0%BF%D1...

  For the record, it works fine with Google’s DNS.

IIRC the archive.* have a philosophical difference about DNS or SSL or some such and thus things come up as broken due to intention configuration choices. I'll bet they actually work if you keep clicking..

If you're using Cloudflare DNS, archive.is etc will fail to resolve. https://jarv.is/notes/cloudflare-dns-archive-is-blocked/ https://jarv.is/notes/cloudflare-dns-archive-is-blocked/

It doesn't work in Firefox for me, but other browsers work.

  It's likely to be because you have DNS-over-HTTPS with Cloudflare activated in Firefox.

    The last time I checked it was an TLS codec mismatch error, but that seems to have been resolved so now it does work without Cloudflare.
