Archive.today and its subsidiaries poison DNS queries from Cloudfare and Quad9, though. Archive.org doesn't, and is the OG, but it doesn't always get around the paywalls.

What does poisoning DNS queries mean?

Basically the page doesn't load. DNS converts the URL into actual server IP's for you to connect to and get the web page from. archive.today does some things depending on where you're from, and if your DNS provider doesn't give them this information they blackhole the request.

But they had 5G! Germany still has areas without any mobile coverage whatsoever. You can tell that you crossed the border to Poland by the signal suddenly getting better.
