Let's test: https://www.digwebinterface.com/?hostnames=www.army.mil%0D%0Aarchive.today%0D%0Aarchive.is&type=A&useresolver=8.8.4.4&ns=self&nameservers=1.1.1.1%0D%0A8.8.8.8

Yeah.

archive.today@1.1.1.1 (CloudFlare):   [Copy results to clipboard]
(None)
archive.today@8.8.8.8 (Google):   [Copy results to clipboard]
archive.today.		299	IN	A	46.17.42.43

Stay away from centralized service. (Google DNS/Cloudflare DNS)

"Sites that respect their visitors do not resort to Cloudflare."
"In some cases, for particular countries, having all traffic visible
