I get it on iOS exclusively, but turning on a VPN resolves for some reason. I’ve tried different browsers, different DNS providers, and WiFi or cellular, and none have helped. Not sure why a VPN would make a difference. Same country of origin.

It’s because of iCloud Relay, which is powered by Cloud Flare. If you turn it off it will work.

Thanks. I get it on ios as well. Hadn’t thought to try a vpn.

If you are using Cloudflare DNS, that's why. This comes up frequently, CloudFlare always comes along and gives a vaguely dishonest answer as to why they won't fix it. Stop using 1.1.1.1; if you are using private relay (which implicitly uses cloudFlare) that's why this is happening.

Are you using Firefox with DoH turned on? That routes your dns (via https) to Cloudflare by default which archive.is doesn't like. Even if your OS has a different DNS server configured.
