Yeah, by default redirects to root URL for EU users.

They call it ”Welcome to The Detroit News’s EUROPEAN UNION EXPERIENCE”

https://eu.detroitnews.com/EU-learn-more/ has more info. Apparently, they claim/think they can’t show you a direct URL without setting a cookie.

Well, it _is_ progress relative to “can’t let you in”, but where do these kind of policies come from?

Gives a cert mismatch warning (with a Cloudfare cert) and then show 403 / Forbidden.

Worked for me.

Do you happen to use CloudFlare's DNS (1.1.1.1)? They have quite a long-standing [1] issue with archive.is. (or the other way around depending on your opinion)

If you're using Firefox, also check whether you're using DNS-over-HTTPS (DoH) with Cloudflare. It's in Settings -> Network Settings -> Enable DNS over HTTPS.

could somebody please share the link with outline.com? I have archive.is blocked because sometimes they redirect to dodgy Russian domains. Maybe we could use outline in future? In the hope that outline works for everyone including those of us using cloudflare?

I tried submitting the link to Outline and it didn't work on Chrome or Edge from EU... the site might be having an issue of some kind or it's just this particular link. Recently I tried it for something else and it only worked on Edge, strangely enough. It's annoying that it doesn't "just work", like it did before.
