Using your ISP's DNS, or even worse, Google DNS, can break things. Don't use these, or Cloudflare's DNS.

Someone here posted that they had trouble viewing archive.today links, the cause seems to be Google DNS. I can't remember who posted that information, but thank you.

I'm currently using OpenDNS with a handful of others as alternates. Things broken immediately resumed operation.

I was using Cloudflare and Google both where blocking archive sites. Moved to OpenDns and no issues.

I just recently changed to OpenDNS for the same reason. I put some of the adblocker DNS sites as numbers 5 and 6 and 7 and 8 in the router, just in case. Lots of fallback, but it should prefer OpenDNS.

So OpenDNS is the only solution?

I don't know how the adblocker ones work, OpenDNS seems to work well enough.
