Comment on Does archive.today break when using private DNS (quad9)?
redcalcium@lemmy.institute 9 months agoMaybe 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.

But, then, why does it not work when using quad9? The result from quad9 may not be the closest server, but they can serve the captcha, so I’m reaching one of their servers.
