Sounds like the website owner didn't setup up a page rule properly for it's RSS feeds in CloudFlare. If you flip a switch and don't customize it properly you will likely run into issues like this, but that's not Cloudfare, rather the webmaster for the site who you should be contacting.

Why on earth shouldn't it do the right thing out of the box? Isn't "this stuff is hard, let us figure it out for you" CloudFlare's entire value proposition?

  > Why on earth shouldn't it do the right thing out of the box? Which is what exactly? The default being to have a uniform service across all asset types seems sensible enough to me. It's either that or everything is off by default and you manually include paths/expressions that are included. The latter seems more of a hassle for most people. > Isn't "this stuff is hard, let us figure it out for you" CloudFlare's entire value proposition? I'm not sure what their angle is. As far as I can tell it's to re-centralize the internet so they can be the single tap point where SSL is added and removed[1]. Once they've got a sizeable chunk of the world funneling through them, they could make some decent coin giving direct access to the feds. Until then, it's just free SSL and DDOS protection. Can't really complain against free either. Heck just don't use it.

    They're a CDN... their purpose is DDoS mitigation, and improved delivery of cached resources... That means running analysis on traffic, and it sucks when you get caught in the net. That's how it works though. Odds are the nntp client in question should customize the user-agent, and a request made to Cloudflare to improve the ranking for that agent... that's about the best that can be expected here.
