Ironically this is exactly how cloudflare handles its spam prevention. Have a dynamic IP? Its Russian roulette until cloudflare decides you're dangerous.

My favorite experience was building a website for a client, putting cloudflare in front of it, then discovering cloudflare blocked the IP of our client's office from seeing their own website.

One of the cool things about SourceHut Pages is that they block reverse proxying through Cloudflare because of shit like this.

At least you've learnt quickly they were blocking wanted traffic.
