The issue with Cloudflare is that they use the same IP address for multiple websites, so the request must also contain a header telling Cloudflare which website you want to see.
If Cloudflare was actually down as well, I don't know where the IP number would go to.
Type the IP for GAW in the URL bar and see:-
172.67.145.123
Does not work.
Edit:- Maybe it will work with an edited hosts file but I have not tested it.
IF DNS goes down I am hoping Yandex DNS is up:- 77.88.8.8, 77.88.8.1
I have also archived locally many small, obscure DNS services.

nice
Here is a page worth saving locally.
Many DNS providers with all details on one page:- https://kb.adguard.com/en/general/dns-providers
It would obviously be much more functional to find a working alt DNS rather than caching or editing hosts files.(If you can find one)
Yes, it will work with an edited hosts file.
