Forums block ASN 62240

[Imagine Programming]

Hi there,

Maybe anyone from staff or moderation can answer this, i.e. Ulrich; why is the mentioned ASN blocked from visiting this website in your Cloudflare config?
I'm often connected through commercial VPN services, private VPS VPN solutions or company tunnels and occasionally I am on an IP address from an ASN that IR seems to have blocked. The number of IPs blocked this way is huge, so I don't understand what the reasoning of this is.

In this case it's 'CLOUVIDER Clouvider - Global ASN, GB' behind that ASN.

Thanks.

It must have been the origin of a large scale attack on either our site or others used by cloudflare. We run these forums on vBulletin’s hosted service now, who also uses Cloudflare, so there are several layers of things going on. Some beyond our control. But I’ll take a look and see. Thanks for letting us know.

Thanks Ted, that sounds logical.
