If I read that word salad correctly, Cloudflare says they're blocking it because they want to "protect the privacy" of users who do a DNS lookup of archive.today, to prevent the requester's IP address from being reviealed to archive.
That seems ludicrous, given that after a DNS lookup, the next thing anybody does is to send an HTTP request, which obviously reveals that same IP address to the archive servers.
So it's an obvious and blatant lie by Cloudflare, and I wonder what their real reason is.
