whenever I can't access a website for various stupid blocks

I fire up cloudflare warp and walk right through it

use wireguard with wgcf in environments without cloudflare client

yeah it's stupid we have to do this in 2026 but I guess cloudflare is the new AOL garden

You sir seem to have solved a problem many people here have.

Would you care to elaborate a little on how you did it?

It doesn't happen that often to me, but sometimes adblock setup I'm using results in such issues.

He just told you, he used cloudflare WARP. It's a "VPN" along the lines of NordVPN et al, but by cloudflare, so it gets special treatment by cloudflare's walled garden enforcement system.

I wonder if iCloud private relay might also work. Apple probably negotiated some special treatment

I’m guessing it’s all the same effect as CGNAT exit IPs. You need to get big enough to be unblockable. That’s why everyone is trying to get in on the VPN game.

This new reCAPTCHA setup is probably a good indicator that big tech wants to shift to verified access only. Personally, I’m just going to quit spending money via the internet and go back to piracy + retail stores with a physical location.

the fact that this works, as well as cloudflare having a literal web scraping tool available as another product honestly makes my blood boil.
