There are several threads about this topic in the Technical Issues sub forum. Internet Brands claims that it often gets hit with DDOS attacks, and therefore requires a strong defense (sometimes, extremely strong). Cloudflare's error page provides no solutions for appeal, but you can email IB with your IP address, and maybe they will whitelist it, BUT probably not. IMO, this battle isn't worth our time. So, I simply use the Cloudfare blocks as a litmus test for servers to avoid, That is probably overkill if you don't care about accessing FT while on VPN though because a lot of A's servers that don't work on FT have no (or minimal) problems with Google.
