Cloudflare has always been a dumpster fire in usability. The number of times it would block me in that way was enough to make me seriously question anyones technical knowledge that used it. It's a dumpster fire. Friends don't let friend use Cloudflare. To me, it's like the Spirit airlines of CDNs. Sure, tech wise it might work great, but from your users perspective: it's trash.
