That's down for me but I got to the text by googling the title first:

Do you use Cloudflare DNS, 1.1.1.1? It is a known issue that archive.ph/md/vn doesn’t work with that due to some dispute its operate has with them. Cloudflare refuses to send some DNS option on privacy grounds, which the operator of that site insists they need; in response, they configured their DNS servers to block Cloudflare.

Just wanted to add that archive.* works OK with NextDNS, which both Firefox and Chrome allow you to select as a DNS provider for DNS-over-HTTPS.

I use 1.1.1.1 and use archive.ph practically every day without issue.

I'm not sure this info is current.

It definitely used to be true, and if it isn't true any more, it isn't clear when it stopped being true.

I found someone 9 months ago reporting the issue was still happening for them – https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30737328 – so maybe something has changed in the last 9 months.

That's very strange, because I've been using it without issue at least twice that long.

I’ve been using it about as long as you and I have had issues with the domain.

   echo 41.77.143.21 archive.vn >> /etc/hosts

The other issue is archive.ph and friends are DNS-blocked in some countries.

12ft.io is a well-known workaround for ft.com.

   cat > 1.sh 

    #!/bin/sh
    read x;
    x=$(echo "$x"|yy046); #FN1 URL encoding
    #echo "https://12ft.io/api/proxy?ref=&q=$x"|yy025|nc -vv h1b 80|yy054|zcat
    exec tnftp -4o"|gzip -dc" "https://12ft.io/api/proxy?ref=&q=$x"

   ^D

    echo https://www.ft.com/content/8cd27d16-c996-4dc7-86af-ed6f40ff361c|1.sh > 1.htm
    firefox ./1.htm

   FN1. Use whatever one's own preference for URL encoding.  Many options, e.g., https://rosettacode.org/wiki/URL_encoding yy046 is mine.

CloudFlare is in the right. This is for privacy. Just put the IPs on your hosts file, it's easy. https://dns.google/query?name=archive.is

54.37.18.234 archive.today 54.37.18.234 archive.is

While there try a hosts blocklist http://someonewhocares.org/hosts/
