12ft

I saw a post in here that had a bug and wouldn't let me respond from my phone, but...

It was talking about paywalls for news sites. And this is literally the best one i know to get passed them. Just copy and paste.

archive.is has been down for more than a week now. archive.org doesn't seem to work as well (at least according to my experience). 12ft wall just gets paid by some news sites to get their site excluded. Is there anything that's still usable?

(Edit: Turns out 1.1.1.1 has been censoring my internet. I'll never trust them again.)

Btw, y'all still using this community? The "official" one that migrated from reddit is at !piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com and our community is bigger.

According to cloudflare adminsIt's a bit more complicated than 1.1.1.1 (Cloudflare DNS) censoring your internet, read here https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19828702

Archive.is’s authoritative DNS servers return bad results to 1.1.1.1 when we query them. I’ve proposed we just fix it on our end but our team, quite rightly, said that too would violate the integrity of DNS and the privacy and security promises we made to our users when we launched the service.

The archive.is owner has explained that he returns bad results to us because we don’t pass along the EDNS subnet information. This information leaks information about a requester’s IP and, in turn, sacrifices the privacy of users. This is especially problematic as we work to encrypt more DNS traffic since the request from Resolver to Authoritative DNS is typically unencrypted. We’re aware of real world examples where nationstate actors have monitored EDNS subnet information to track individuals, which was part of the motivation for the privacy and security policies of 1.1.1.1.

edit: So it's actually the other way around, it's the archive.is admin who's blocking people who use Cloudflare DNS, read also their tweet here https://twitter.com/archiveis/status/1018691421182791680

@psyqology @spicysoup

Try https://archive.ph/

That still works.

@001100010010

@psyqology @spicysoup

It is likely blocking bots/crawlers, so it only looks down. https://archive.ph should still be working.

Doesn't work for me. Where is your IP from? I'm in the US.

I've also tried Fennec, Firefox, and Chrome and also tried switching to mobile data. All fails.

@001100010010

@psyqology @spicysoup

I'm also in the US. You must be blocked somewhere. If not your ISP or DNS server, then you must have it blocked locally.

What dns do you use? I use 1.1.1.1 with 8.8.8.8 as backup

[–] Hypx@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

@001100010010

@psyqology @spicysoup I use the standard DNS that comes with my ISP.

[–] 001100010010@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Yo wtf 1.1.1.1 has been censoring my internet all this time? Jeez, I'm never using that ever again. Now I'm having trust issues with internet organizations.

I just did a quick search on DNS that are uncensored and found this: https://blog.uncensoreddns.org/ and put that in as my private dns and it worked. I still need to do more research on them before I can fully trust this DNS.

Btw what ISP do you use? I use Comcast/Xfinity and the reason why I switched to 1.1.1.1 was because of perceived censorship issues with ISPs, but didn't expect 1.1.1.1 to be the ones doing the censorship. My default Comcast DNS server didn't even block archive.is / archive.ph

Here's some more: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/dns/

You can also selfhost your own dns with Unbound

In this economy?

(Yes I know there's Proton VPN with a free tier, but that's kinda slow.

Edit: Also, I don't want to be hogging free bandwidth when there are people that need the VPN more than I do, such as people in authoritarian regimes.)

[–] SaltySalamander@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

Brother, I use 1.1.1.1 and those sites aren't blocked for me. Seems like you're having a completely different issue.

[–] Myrbolg@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Really? They proclaim to free the world from pay walls, the just take the money? Hypocrites.

[–] 001100010010@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 year ago

You can still use archive.is or archive.ph. If you can't access those, it's likely a dns issue.

[–] psyqology@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 year ago

Thanks. I didn't know, and the original thought came from a post in this community right before I posted this. Thanks.
