DNS errors might be independent of any browser you use, since they will all draw on the same source unless there are other name resolvers as part of the browser - I think the tor browser does this for example.
If you have other dns options, try switching to alternatives.
Consider DNS to be akin to a telephone book. In a telehone book the name is listed alphabetically, adress, telephone number.
When you enter into the addressbar: greatawakening.win this name needs to be converted into an IP-address.
Try this:
Open command prompt (or if you are on Mac / linux: terminal)
enter the following command:
Ping greatawakening.win
64 bytes from 172.67.141.166 (172.67.141.166): icmp_seq=1 ttl=60 time=167 ms
64 bytes from 172.67.141.166 (172.67.141.166): icmp_seq=2 ttl=60 time=166 ms
64 bytes from 172.67.141.166 (172.67.141.166): icmp_seq=3 ttl=60 time=169 ms
64 bytes from 172.67.141.166 (172.67.141.166): icmp_seq=4 ttl=60 time=180 ms
As you can see, the IP address is 172.67.141.166.
You can use this IP address in the address bar of your browser, too.
To force your browser from using a DNS to resolve the name to IP address issue, you can add the URL + IP address to a file called "hosts".
So, should for any reason, your DNS decide to not resolve the resolver request from your browser, your hostfile functions as a resolver.
Now it gets interesting. Just like google search, using a different search engine may yield different result, at different speeds. The same goes for a DNS. Not every DNS server is equal.
Peruse the list at this link. You can alter the DNS in your browser. Depending your browser there is a certain way to do it. Simply enter a search for change DNS and the name of your browser and it will tell you howto.
In firefox, you simply go into preferences and in the searchfield enter DNS.
This will bring up a couple of options:
First will be your standard DNS that is used by your browser by default.
You can change that to, for instance QUAD: 9.9.9.9
Save it and you are done.
Now you can try archive.is again and see if it resolves.
If not, goto command prompt, or terminal: ping archive.is and use the IP address to go there.
If it still does not resolve, you may try a different DNS.
Recommended: Use DNS over HTTPS.
If it still does not resolve, you may be locked out due to geographical limits imposed by the country or ISP.
This can be resolved by using a proxy, or a VPN.
To be secure, you would want to use a VPN or proxy that does not log at all. So make sure you read the privacy policy carefully. A quick help would be to search for no log policy VPN.
You will wind up paying for that service, but better to pay a small amount than having your profile update by each and any website everytime you log on to the internet.
While VPN disconnects you from your ISP assigned IP address, you would need to take onboard an additional OPSEC requirement. Think what you are doing online. Break it down into boxes. And use for each of these activities a different browser, setting and VPN country.
This way, you can throw a spanner into the system to follow you everywhere.
If you are using both a smartphone and laptop/computer, think hard on what you want google and the rest of the scoundrels to keep knowing about your activity.

archive.is works fine for me, I use it frequently enough that I have it bookmarked
I can't get on them anymore either. They have a captcha and when completed, I get an error
It has to do with the DNS you are using.

I got into both of them with no problems.
