Today, I enabled quad9 dns for my home network, and archive.today now requires a captcha, which results in an infinite loop.
A similar problem was reported some months ago for Cloudflare’s 1.1.1.1
Posting here to see whether it’s just me or everyone. Is this a know problem?
Weird, I change from dns11.quad9.net (with ECS / EDNS client subnet enabled) to dns.quad9.net. Now archive.today works.
And then it broke again. And then it worked again.
Totally random. How does one debug this?
Maybe just hard code the DNS value for archive.is in your host file or your pihole (if you use pihole)?
Sounds like a simple solution.
Although I’m not really sure what happens here. I do get an IP address via quad9 and I do get other IP adresses using other resolvers, but how do I know which one works.
Both should work, archive.today is using a dns-based load balancer where it answer DNS query with an IP address for a server that supposedly closer to you. Just pick one with the shortest ping and see if it’ll work.
