Archive.ph blocks some dns providers. Cloud flare is one of the impacted dns providers. Because cloud flare does not pass along some location specific information that archive.ph can use for tracking, archive.ph returns garbage replies to cloud flare. This is why you get stuck in the loop
For what it's worth, my home network is blocked by archive.ph whenever I have my PiHole enabled.
Are you using a VPN? It doesn’t seem to like those.
No. Stopped working about two months ago on my iPhone and MacOS systems. Doesn't matter if Chrome or Safari, DNS 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8 or ISP default DNS.
iCloud private relay will do this too. Check that you haven’t got that enabled and that you’re using an upstream DNS provider other than 1.1.1.1.
Have had private relay disabled for many months (just doublechecked). It broke a lot of sites.
