I’ve just started using Warp+ and it has been excellent for my specific use case: better peering to my Plex server while in another continent. Plex was unusable and now it’s not. Overall very happy despite this brief outage.
Note that if you use 1.1.1.1, you apparently can't visit archive.is links. I'm not sure why, but around a dozen people on HN have confirmed this. (At least as of a couple months ago.) I think the world could use more alternatives to 8.8.8.8. Hopefully 1.1.1.1 will become more reliable as the years tick by. (Do you use something besides 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1? If so, post it here!

As neutrally as possible: Cloudflare doesn't support the DNS Extension that sends part of clients' IPs to the upstream resolver ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/EDNS_Client_Subnet ). Cloudflare believes this is better for privacy. Archive.is doesn't like this (because it prevents DNS-based CDN routing), and thus has a hardcoded exception to intentionally return bogus results to Cloudflare's resolvers.

Switched off 1.1.1.1 for that reason a while back. Currently using OpenDNS which is now unfortunately owned by Cisco. Definitely a lack of actually open alternatives.

How come archive.is works for me? I have set up Cloudflare DoH in my router, I block other popular DoH servers on my network and I also redirect any other DNS queries (UDP 53) to my router's DNS (which in turn uses Cloudflare). And at least in my region (EU) I did not notice any issues with 1.1.1.1.

Lack of EDNS only makes DNS based routing slightly worse if your CDN has a POP density similar-or-greater-than Cloudflare's.

Running your own resolver that points directly to root servers is also an option. https://nlnetlabs.nl/projects/unbound/about/ It isn't too complicated to set up and provides faster responses than external DNS servers, especially after the cache gets built up a bit.

Do you use something besides 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1? 99% of the time I just talk directly to the root servers from my home network and pre-cache the most popular places I visit. Unbound also supports DoH but most distributions of Linux do not enable that compile time flag in their Unbound package build and I have long since stopped compiling things as most distributions finally started using the right security options in…
Out of curiosity: Why, if you generally trust your ISP? Do you get worse performance using their DNS servers?

Pihole is preconfigured to use multiple DNS. I use cloudflare and OpenDNS and exclude Google.
Their DNS? or all of their services?
