Please don't make the whole internet basically cloudflare. they've banned my VPN endpoint (Hetzner server) and as a result a huge chunk of websites already don't work for me despite me having done nothing wrong. I've heard reports of Tor users being restricted as well.
It's more likely that website owners are blocking the ASNs of hosting providers since those are often used for content scraping and exploit type attacks [since they're cheap]. There are public and private lists of hosting provider ASNs you can use to block them all if you generally only want visitors with a business/residential IP.
It is usually nothing specific to your VPN setup or IP. It is mainly either for (D)DoS protection or Content Licensing related ( VPNs are easy way to bypass Geo-locked content). Many CDNs and services will allow you to access using only non commercial IP range
Okay, any one of the other CDNs then. It seems like the bandwidth costs and equipment are prohibitively expensive for them. There must be a reason they don't use them which is what I want to know.
So many of the VPS companies have bots galore doing credit card attacks on smaller sites that it’s very easy and convenient to simply block those VPS providers.
