In the case of a site using cloudflare, the ips will resolve to cloudflare, so impossible to block without blocking all those sites. Dns and the web traffic both use https to a cloudflare ip. As much as Ive complained in the past about cloudflare harbouring spammers, I have now come to the conclusion they are providing a very important service. It certainly saved me a huge amount of stress when our site was blocked as a false positive by akamai’s dodgy dns, which meant customers from a whole raftload of isps couldnt access our site. Not to mention the benefit to users in countries like Russia.
