It's important to remember, at least for corporate environments, that EDNS Client Subnet is important when working with services such as Exchange Online where the local resolver is what determines your EXO Front Door. If you're using a service like 1.1.1.1, you may be routed to an incorrect Front Door causing increased latency (primarily with search and archive mailboxes which aren't cached).

Quad9 does have a service which provides EDNS Client Subnet support, should you want to leverage it.

Archive.is is unironically one of the most important websites in the world. I hope this mess gets fixed but I am not holding my breath because we are in the same position for years now.

Interesting read on the probable owner of the site : https://webapps.stackexchange.com/a/149405

Archive.is used to geoblock all Finnish IP addresses at one point because of some alleged dispute with the Finnish government. As far as I remember, he got a takedown request from a Finnish government and then had some incident at the Finnish border, saying that they were linked (as in, the company in question could order the Finnish government to harrass him).

Works now though but it gives me doubts about the management of the site.

That reads a lot like doxxing; if someone isn't open about their identity, they don't want it out, and doing sleuthing work like this (or linking to it) can be considered doxxing.

If archive.is hosts content that has been removed due to oppressive regimes' policies (including western ones), exposing their identity may put them at risk.
