It seems so silly and mysterious that it makes me wonder if archive.today wants exact client IP addresses for some other unstated reason. (It's not clear how/if archive.today, a possibly illegal site, brings in revenue?).
The whole thing is very odd.
- arkadiyt 3y ago> it makes me wonder if archive.today wants exact client IP addresses for some other unstated reason They still get the client ip from the request to the service itself (unless you're using a VPN, but if you're using a VPN then archive wouldn't get your ip from your DNS request either).
- depr 3y agoThere is another reason but it is stated here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36971650 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36971650 (routing people to the nearest server _outside_ their own country).
