I grew up in Australia, and have spent a fair bit of time in India for over a decade, and now live in India (1⅓ years). Every ISP that I have experienced, mobile and broadband, is using CGNAT. The easiest way I’ve seen this on broadband is https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com/ https://iknowwhatyoudownload.com/ showing several movie downloads per day. Cloudflare isn’t the only problem, but they are the worst, probably by dint of popularity. I get blocked outright occasionally (presented dishonestly as because my request matched attack patterns due to things like SQL injection in query string parameters, when I’m actually just trying to load any regular page), and blocked with hCAPTCHA frequently (normally presented dishonestly with their stock page as “example.com needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding”, though a few like blender.org customise it). It’s draining. In Cloudflare’s actual article, they claim their bot detection to be resilient to CGNAT <https://blog.cloudflare.com/detecting-cgn-to-reduce-collateral-damage/#users-behind-cgnat-are-more-likely-to-be-rate-limited https://blog.cloudflare.com/detecting-cgn-to-reduce-collater...>. Frankly, if it is so, I wonder if they just have a rule that amounts to “is user in India”. I definitely feel prejudged and discriminated against. I am idly curious if leasing a static IP from my ISP would help anything, in the short or long term. In Australia, I think I experienced Cloudflare’s blocking page once in my life, and no others.
