Then, try to visit this link: https://archive.md/FyTDBYou should get a certificate warning, and if you choose to proceed anyway, you'll get a Cloudflare-originated 403 Forbidden page.Now set 8.8.8.8 as your DNS and reload the page, and you'll see it open normally. No broken cert, no 403 status code, just a working website.I found this very unexpected. Am I missing something obvious, or am I not the only one surprised to see this? 19 points obi1kenobi 6 years ago 10 comments
