India is blocking a bunch of the IPs.

Here's a new acronym for us: "Problem Exists Between User And Internet; PEBUI.

This is definitely the next 5 years+ of computing. More and more nations making more and more wild ass decisions about the internet & users ending up disconnected. PEBUI.

Russia has blocked Cloudflare before too.

Misleading title as it lacks context.

It could be argued that the title is just plain wrong - this doesn't seem to be a problem with cloudflare as the title would imply, it is an issue caused by the user's ISP and other ISPs in their country blocking certain IP addresses for some reason or another.

I stopped using their caching because they literally won't stop caching the old version of my site. It's just a Google Pages site and I have no idea how to get them to refresh their cache. But a year later they still return the old page. Just using DNS pass through rather than caching and the site works fine.
