tl;dr: No. Quite the opposite, actually — Archive.is’s owner is intentionally blocking 1.1.1.1 users.

CloudFlare’s CEO had this to say on HackerNews:

We don’t block archive.is or any other domain via 1.1.1.1. […] Archive.is’s authoritative DNS servers return bad results to 1.1.1.1 when we query them. I’ve proposed we just fix it on our end but our team, quite rightly, said that too would violate the integrity of DNS and the privacy and security promises we made to our users when we launched the service. […] The archive.is owner has explained that he returns bad results to us because we don’t pass along the EDNS subnet information. This information leaks information about a requester’s IP and, in turn, sacrifices the privacy of users.

I am mainly making this post so that admins/moderators at BeeHaw will consider using archive.org or ghostarchive.org links instead of archive.today links.

Because anyone using CloudFlare’s DNS for privacy is being denied access to archive.today links.

      DNS server returns not the closest IP to the request origin but the closest IP abroad, so any takedown procedure would require bureaucratic procedures so I am getting notified notified and have time to react.

      Oh, so he’s not using a CDN, but a sort of “anti”-CDN.

      attacks where people upload illegal content

      I offered them to proxy those CloudFlare DNS’s users via their CDN but they rejected.

      Wonder why 😆

      Yes, that holds up to scrutiny pretty well.

      After “I’ve proposed we just fix it on our end …” all requests for 7 archive.* domains are sent from Symantec USA IP

      …and that’s a dick move on part of CloudFlare.
