I had trouble accessing archive.is until I installed OpenDNS. Haven't had a problem since.

I use DNSCrypt.

archive.is

Do you remember when that Russian hacker captured it a few years back? I couldn't access it either, or any of the other .xx sites, then the hackers message popped up one day when yet another person posted that link. The hacker chastised the site owner for poor security and said he'd help him out. Was a funny message, but the guy probably had to pay to get it back. Anyway, I ended up going with OpenDNS too.

Oh, so it was just a hack causing my problems?

OpenDNS cured my inability to access those sites, so I think it's just some funky settings they're using. I don't know much about it other than it works once I switched.

I use DNSCrypt, which is a step further than just changing your DNS.

But you have to load TOR and click through captchas for five minutes to access it.

I like what I'm reading about it, but I don't want to end up with the same issues.

i'm using DNS over HTTP, and cloudflare, google, 9.9.9.9. Is it worth adding others?

Don't tell anyone, but I literally boomer my way through computer/internet issues.

https://www.dnscrypt.org/#about sounds great, but I'm wary of making changes when everything is working well enough.

It's probably/maybe unrelated, but TheAmeliaMay having those issues above while using dnscrypt makes me hesitant to 'upgrade' security until I know more. Having to tinker to make something work is one of my least favorite things. Right up there with washing dishes and house cleaning.
