Have you never seen an org with filtering for such sites?
Not FUD. It kind of sucks if $POTENTIAL_BIG_CORPORATE_CUSTOMER can't access your site because it's blocked as a porn site, just like it sucks if they don't get your emails because your entire ISP got blacklisted by spamhaus.
- scrollaway 10y agoI haven't; certainly not with Cloudflare. I'm not a veteran of the industry, but if it were common, I suspect I would have seen it by now. CF issues tend to be browser-related, tor-related or configuration-related. I suspect these three happen far more than the odd organization that blindly blacklist websites at the IP level... {{cn}}
- ryanlol 10y ago> CF issues tend to be browser-related, tor-related or configuration-related Have you ever used CF? They've constantly got local downtimes, that's not caused by any of those. You mention "tor-related" issues, but Tor users don't even get most of the captchas (or even visit very many websites). Most of the captchas are shown to normal users on "bad" ISPs (i.e. not big enough to warrant whitelisting, so smaller local ISPs and business ip ranges). And blacklisting sites on the IP level is nothing out of the ordinary in your typical BigCo.
