Describe the bug

it seems like the faker.image.avatar() server is down. https://cloudflare-ipfs.com returns dns error
all other image related services work fine. I noticed this 2 days ago, and I initially thought it was a temporary DNS issue, but it seems it persists.

Which version of faker are you using?

We deprecated the cloudflare-ipf images a while ago due to their bad uptime.

• refactor(image): deprecate avatarLegacy for removal #3109

Since v9.0.2 faker.image.avatar() no longer returns images from that origin.
So please update to the latest version or switch to faker.image.avatarGitHub().

Does this solve your issue?
