IP being blocked for foreign countries laws?
Hi, i am irish, i use a phone from ireland, and my IP is irish, yet i am being blocked in relation to the uk's online safety act, is their a reason or is ireland just not factored in to things?

Check the cdn-cgi/trace for the site, could be that you're being routed through the uk
I also think this applies here

If you are blocked by a website that uses Cloudflare, you need to contact the website owner to appeal or investigate the block. Cloudflare is configured by the site owner, and Cloudflare will not overwrite the configuration of any customer. Nobody in this Discord nor any Cloudflare employee will be able to help you. The site owner can investigate why you were blocked through your ray id.
Nope, i checked, im so confused whats happening 😭
yea as zegevlier said, it could very well be a custom block rule
Plenty of sites responded to the UK's desicion by just blocking EU-wide traffic
Or the site owner incorrectly assumed that rule applied to Ireland as well
Either way, not something anyone here can help with
judt wanted to try figure out what the cause was, thanks for the help ❤️
