A [recent post on Hacker News](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828317) pointed out what I've noticed for a long time -- the [Archive.is](https://archive.is/) (aka [Archive.today](https://archive.today/)) website archiver appears unresponsive when I'm on my home network, where I use Cloudflare's fantastic public DNS service, [1.1.1.1](https://1.1.1.1/). I didn't connect the two variables until I read this post, where somebody noticed that the Archive.is domain resolves for Google's 8.8.8.8 DNS, but not 1.1.1.1.

I didn't connect the two variables until I read this post, where somebody noticed that the Archive.is domain resolves for Google's 8.8.8.8 DNS, but not 1.1.1.1. An interesting and timeless debate on privacy vs. convenience ensued.

Matthew Prince, the CEO & Co-Founder of Cloudflare (who's also [very active](https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=eastdakota) on Hacker News), responded to the observation [with a detailed explanation](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828702) of what's happening behind-the-scenes, revealing that the owners of Archive.is are actively refusing to resolve their own website for 1.1.1.1 users because Cloudflare's DNS offers ***too much*** privacy. Excerpts below:
|
||||
|
||||
> 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.

Essentially, Archive.is throws a hissy-fit and returns a bogus CNAME when Cloudflare doesn't provide them with geolocation info on you via the dated and optional [EDNS IP subnet standard](https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6891). The owner of Archive.is has even [admitted this](https://twitter.com/archiveis/status/1018691421182791680) with a questionable claim about the lack of EDNS information causing him "so many troubles."

Sure, it's annoying that I'll need to use a VPN or change my DNS resolvers to use a pretty cool (and otherwise convenient) archiving service. But I'm more happy to see that Cloudflare is playing the privacy long-game, even at the risk of their users concluding that they're blocking websites accessible to everyone else on the internet.
