 **Sites doing mass IP/ASN/etc blocking, and lying to the user about it:**
 ^ Site ^ Lie ^
+| **Anything using CF Turnstile** | captcha loops forever on some IPs |
 | cpu-world.com | Connections silently dropped |
 | crt.sh | Connections silently dropped |
 | dominos.com | Everything works except the final API call to submit an order silently fails |
 | etsy.com | When registering an account: "Sorry! There was a problem on our end. Please try registering again or email support@etsy.com for assistance." Support@ address auto-replies with "This is not a monitored inbox." |
-| github.com | SSH connections are silently dropped after key exchange. Also sporadically blocked from search for "abuse" |
+| genius.com | Displays a condescending and infantile page claiming the site is down. In actuality HTTP status is 403 because you are blocked and "refreshing the page might help" is a lie |
+| github.com | <del>SSH connections are silently dropped after key exchange. Also sporadically blocked from search for "abuse"</del> Seems to work fine as of late 2023 - early 2024 |
 | gofundme.com | Claims 502 bad gateway |
 | he.net tunnelbroker | Connections to common IRC ports are blocked |
 | imgur.com | Returns json claiming imgur is over capacity and a 403 status. HTTP status is actually 429. <del>Direct image links (i.imgur.com) work</del> Nothing works anymore |
+| mercari.com | Site lies and says user/pass is invalid, same user/pass works from a different IP |
 | mouser.com | CAPTCHA loop |
 | padmapper.com | Returns fictitious HTTP 433 for all requests |
+| reddit.com | Completely blocked and accused of scraping which I haven't done |
 | segaretro.org | All edits blocked as spam |
 | twitch.tv | Firefox+Linux users randomly blocked from doing anything related to accounts. |
 | *.weebly.com | Connections silently dropped |
+| Microsoft various services | Media Creation Tool silently exits if it thinks you're on a sus connection |
 **"Honorable" mentions:**
@@ Line 22: / Line 27: @@
 | discord.com | New account creations are instantly phone-locked |
 | facebook.com | Forces login, even when browsing public profiles (such as companies) |
+| gsaauctions.gov | My taxes probably fund this shit and I'm blocked from it |
 | instagram.com | Forces login. Account creation is also effectively impossible |
 | kabum.com.br | At least returns HTTP 403, but the text is not helpful |
-| rateyourmusic.com | Honest. Has a detailed splash page explaining the block |
+| rateyourmusic.com | Makes you go through CF Turnstile and then displays a blocked page |
-| reddit.com | "Blocked due to a network policy", implied I was scraping, I have done no such thing. Using old.reddit.com circumvents the ban for //most// but not all posts. lol? |
+| vrchat.com (all domains/services) | Used to do mass ASN blocking. Web requests would get a cloudflare block page, but API calls from the client would fail in non-obvious ways. Seems to be reverted since 2FA was forced on everyone. Protonmail completely blocked |
