 **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 |
+| curia.europa.eu | HTTP 403 but with a deliberately misleading error message |
 | 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." |
+| 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 |

 | 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 |
