  I tried 2 different IP addresses from Brazil and they got blocked. I tried an IP address from the USA and another from Canada, and both worked correctly. The message you get when you're blocked is: Sorry, you have been blocked You are unable to access dillan.org Performance & security by Cloudflare Why have I been blocked? This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks. The action you just performed triggered the security solution. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. which is false since I wasn't doing any of the things they list. I wonder why they think that Brazil and other countries shouldn't be reading this site? Is the owner of the site able to geo-target which countries he wants his site to be shown in via Cloudflare?

    Blocking countries seems to be possible. No idea why do that on a personal blog, maybe a DDoS?
