As in 1.1.1.1? I don't use 1.1.1.1 for my DNS provider and yet I still get the never ending validation loop.
I am on Google Fiber though, so I probably use 8.8.8.8 without explicitly meaning to. Perhaps this is a problem shared by both Cloudflare and Google's DNS proxies?
If you’re on iOS / Mac and have Apple private relay that would also use 1.1.1.1
Oh interesting, good to know. I don't use Apple private relay so that wouldn't be the problem for me.
I use a Google mesh network and get the same issue, which I assume is related to it using 8.8.8.8 by default.
It's not Cloudflare, it's the owner of archive.is intentionally messing with CF DNS so you can't access the site if you use it.
