Because it’s backed by CloudFlare. Why is it backed by CloudFlare? Because it has open registration and gets spammed a lot.
The two are unrelated.
Edit: I mean cloudflare and the vpn block.
A misconfigured cloudflare would definitely be related
This wouldn’t be a misconfiguration, you have to deliberately enable the VPN blocking feature. Unless someone went in there and started toggling things at random I suppose…
My point was that this is a deliberate choice made by World, and the choice wasn’t made because of Cloudflare being involved.
Yes. If they enable that, it's a misconfiguration
