Pasting the link you say it should be directly also results in a 404. I don't think the issue is with Redactor.

Man I'm confused. When I type the link below in the address bar it works. But when I copy the same URL above it doesn't. They are exactly the same. When I paste the working link below into Craft as the link it then won't work again. https://www.dazeddigital.com/fashion/article/33030/1/making-gucci-mcqueen-and-saint-laurent-sustainable-kering-interview
