It was suggested to me that when a site uses a batch IP check to look for duplicate member accounts to flag, some of those flagged IPs may be loaded into Cloudflare tools dashboard with a new IP access rule to add an IP address or series of IP addresses for being blocked by either one or all websites in a Cloudlare account.
It could explain why this site is blocking IP addresses that aren’t blocked by most or all other sites using the Cloudflare dashboard tools.
Perhaps IBJoel or Oxon Flyer can share more about whether this is a factor in why the VPN blocking — particularly commercial VPN node blocking — hits with FT but not with independent sites using Cloudflare tools.
