Getting blocked by Cloudflare
 

My new VM is getting blocked by Cloudflare. It’s an Azure vm. How can I get this sorted?

thank you.

cloudflare ray id 9814b3fbecc0d4aa

Are you able to assign a static IP to your access? Sometimes it's possible to whitelist one. If not, then obviously Cloudflare perceives this as potentially a spammer trying to access the site and blocks it, which isn't necessarily something within Internet Brands' control.

If you're using the VM without assigning it's own public IP or other dedicated public IP via a NAT gateway or Azure Firewall, then the source IPs you pick up in Azure from the default internet access that is provided are well used and abused by others. Their reputation is better than the source IPs used by a consumer VPN but not much better. Microsoft are not in a hurry to fix the reputation of the default internet access IPs as they would prefer to rent you your own dedicated public IP.

thanks all. OK I have gone ahead and purchased and assigned a dedicated static ip. can you help me in getting it unblocked? still getting the cloudflare block. thank you.

PM me your CloudFlare RayID and IP address (don't share publicly) and I'll put tech on it

Greeetings from Sri Lanka. It seems that unless I use my own VPN which presents my traffic as coming from my home in the US, I see this:

Sorry, you have been blocked

You are unable to access flyertalk.com

I'm just in a hotel, but the same thing happened during my last trip here and I was in a different hotel. I've run into this before in other c:mad:untries. FlyerTalk is for people who travel. It's a shame that it seems to be blocked here (and other places). ...

I don't recall where in Southeast Asia, however, in January and February, I was unable to access FlyerTalk while connected to several hotels WiFi, however, there was no problem connecting when I used cellular data.

Yea - I've had that too. I d:confused:n't recall where.

It's happened to me in Sri Lanka and Bali. I anticipate it now and enjoy the quiet for the one or two months.

Cloudflare now seems to be blocking the largest ISP in Hong Kong (if not the whole territory). I'm connecting from home on my HKT/Netvigator FTTH with standard dynamic IP.

Is this likely to persist? It's rather annoying to have to bring up a VPN to view the site.

I'm on HKBN and getting the same message. But only when I use Firefox. Using Opera I get the Cloudflare box to check and then I go through.

3HK on Safari also

Same on HKT/CSL network. The message seems to indicate they are blocking by IP origin country, not by ASN.

will there be a fix for Hong Kong based user?

Possible that we slammed down hard on Hong Kong because of a bot attack over the weekend. We're still monitoring the situation.
