There is only a single "archive" that does not allow access to Cloudflare DNS users - not many.

It is also exceedingly unlikely that you have greater density of anycast PoPs than Cloudflare's 200+. In your case, you have zero...

Akamai has more than 200 pops and do geodns to stear traffic.

If I compare cloudflare DNS vs Google DNS, I can see a difference of ~50ms between the Akamai POPs offered.

Even archive.today has given up on that crusade; I noticed a few days ago that they don't block me anymore (I use Cloudflare DNS) so they have to have stopped within the past couple weeks.

So now AFAIK the number of sites that block DNS resolvers which do not forward edns-client-subnet is zero. As it should be.

They continue to attempt to try to associate your connections/use dns cookies. CtrlF 'pixel' when you are visiting one of their pages (not frontpage)

They also attempt to correlate .onion traffic.
