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 tried using their DNS servers for about a month. Its amazing how many sites they are blocking. At one point they even were blocking voat.co back when that was a thing.

Yes, which is why telling people to use Cloudflare over Jewgle or your ISP is absurd. OH NO! The frying pan is hot! Jump out onto the burner!

Sooooo, what DNS services don't block anything?

No good options ATM. I run my own local DNS that is seeded from the root servers.. Not encrypted though. Working on something better.
