| I love cloudflare, seriously. Not sure what it is about the brand, but their products feel delightful, they feel like an honest business, they have great free tiers, their tech is “cool” and they seem to innovate a lot (I.e the recent AI blocking program etc). Just moved all my domains over from Whois.com (who on the other hand seem sneaky, don’t have auto renewals and slam you with an 80$ restoration fine for domains you forget to renew, and charge extra for basic security that should be free). Couldn’t be happier and wish cloudflare all the best!! |

| FYI I just tried to read your blog but I’m getting the: “Sorry, you have been blocked” banner from CF. (Safari w. an adblocker, VPN off ) |

| ▲ | jwr 18 minutes ago | parent | next [-] | | I find it incredible that people are willing to outsource the decision on who can access their sites to a corporation. Especially one that is increasingly dominant and tends toward worrying control (they also started selling paid search services for bots to use, presumably those provider will get access). | |

| ▲ | Bender 44 minutes ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | Same here, Firefox with ublock Origin and NoScript. On the topic of caching I run my own edge nodes, no regrets. Privacy maintained, finer grained controls, no large scale ddos protection but I have never needed it. | |
| ▲ | DrewCarlson 2 hours ago | parent | prev | next [-] | | I checked just for fun, also blocked. Could be because I'm in India, but even with CF warp, still blocked.. I do enjoy some of the free cloudflare services for personal projects, but to act like they provide some great infallible business structure or services is ridiculous. | | |
| ▲ | MattBlissett 2 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Are any sites you'd expect to be on paid-for Cloudflare also blocked? I put https://www.gbif.org/ behind Cloudflare on the business plan, and so far (it's been roughly a year) we've only had a couple of reports of blocking, and both seemed likely to be caused by other users on the same IP scraping the site. | | |

| ▲ | DrewCarlson an hour ago | parent | prev [-] | | I can access gbif.org with and without WARP from here. Sometimes sites like hubspot block me without WARP, but it's usually small blogs or technical project sites that give me trouble. So it could have to do with free vs paid plans being more aggressive with default rules. |

| You're good at guerrilla marketing! I, too, got curious about your blog and got blocked. Real FOMO. |

| This is too funny. Much like every other reply I have also been blocked from your blog. Android 17, Firefox, LTE connection (no VPN) |

| I love them as well, but i’ve had to be careful with the default managed rules - 800+ rules that sometimes overblock need to be easier to curate / select from. |

| Yeah, your blog is inaccessible. Both on iCloud Private Relay and bare IP, Safari and Brave. |

| ▲ | pjjpo 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | > There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. If my blog got DoS'd from HN was remotely close to any of these, would be perfectly normal but as it stands this is exactly why gatekeepers are perhaps inevitable, but should never be reveled. | | |
| ▲ | tourmalinetaco 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | I don’t think you understand what’s going on here. They misconfigured their CF and made it impossible for actual users to access their website. That boilerplate text means nothing. I submitted no words, no SQL, and no malformed data, merely a simple access request across multiple browsers. If this amount of traffic across a small handful of users was enough to trigger a DoS, we should be getting proof-of-work captchas, not “you have been blocked” pages. | | |
| ▲ | Symbiote 3 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | The site does work, including on Firefox for Android, for me in Denmark. Perhaps there's an unreasonable geoblock configured. | | | |
| ▲ | ArcHound 3 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Can confirm, I run my own stats on my own blog (no CF) and it's decidedly not easy to get dangerous amounts of traffic from HN. |

| Whoever owns cloudflare is in the comfortable position to track most of the web traffic back to its source address without any effort. Highly pipelined and centralized infrastructure built by volunteers who love the product. Please correct me, if I miss the point. |

| A lot of people are replying saying they can’t get to your blog. I just tried using stock Safari on iOS with UBO Lite and AdGuard and it worked fine. FWIW I’m in Australia and not tunneling through a VPN. |
