Short answer: no. Quite the opposite, actually — Archive.is is intentionally blocking 1.1.1.1 users. Here's why.

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.

      My solution is more complicated but doesn’t require switching browsers

      1. I run a tor client on my home server in docker, the same place I keep my vpn access, torrenting, etc
      2. I run a socks proxy on my home server, that sends all requests through the tor network (and a different socks proxy for when I want to use the VPN)
      3. On my desktop and laptop, I use the FoxyProxy firefox extension (SwitchyOmega on Chrome). I setup the socks proxy (proxies) on it, using URL patterns.
      4. When I go to a .onion link, FoxyProxy uses the pattern, and sends the traffic over my tor socks proxy

        Beware that most of the fingerprinting happens through JavaScript in the browser, so accessing websites over Tor using the same browser, still allows to match the access to your browser’s fingerprint. That’s why the Tor Browser bundle tries to minimize the ability of websites to fingerprint it.

        Additionally, running JavaScript from .onion sites, is kind of like playing the Russian roulette.

      I should write an addon or something to automate this at some point.

      You should! That’d be killer. Also, good archive suggestion, thanks.

          Dunno about other browsers, but if you can get Firefox to view .onion links as a separate Application or File Type you should be able to give it a separate associated action, then just select Tor browser as the handler.

          Problem is I’m not sure where Firefox stores the File Types list (it’s not in about:config) and you can’t just add to it via the UI either.
