Works for me. Do note that archive.is blocks CloudFlare DNS.

This has bitten me before; now my pihole has this line in its dnsmasq configuration

      server=/archive.is/archive.ph/8.8.8.8

so that even if I'm using cloudflare dns for everything else, it will query 8.8.8.8 for those two domains

Gonna go out on a limb and agree with the archive.is owner -- the reason he blocks it is bc cloudflare intentionally doesn't support edns client subnet. They cite privacy reasons, but it comes at the at the cost of performance -- most cdns use DNS based routing, so using cloudflare DNS means you connect to random server for a lot of websites. CloudFlare on the other hand uses anycast routing for their CDN, so they don't suffer at all.

I hate Google but my pihole is configured to use their DNS resolvers. Lesser of two evils.

This hack needs to be pinned to the front of HN :)

Works for me now too, probably the server was not handling the load.
