CloudFlare globally blocking traffic from VPS
I have VPS on Polish cloud service ovhcloud.com and every call using CURL/PHP curl for any page protected with CF gives me this response, i can give more intel about VPS but not publicly there (DDoS etc).

Looks like a normal Cloudflare challenge. Browsers should be able to solve that no problem. You may be seeing more because your IP/range has poor reputation due to abuse and such (not surpising for OVHCloud). If you're trying to access endpoints which should be accessible by automated systems, you'd have to reach out to the website owners to relax their rules on them and not challenge you
Me and few other people, have cs2 servers and im using curl for faceit API calls for few things, on another host worked fine but on new one (OVH) it just.. yeah. So i have to contact faceit and beg them to relax rules on my requests?
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.

So i have to contact faceit and beg them to relax rules on my requests?That's the best and most perm fix, they just shouldn't be serving browser challenges on endpoints used by automated systems..it just doesn't work. Lots of ways for them not to.
curl for faceit API calls for few things, on another host worked fine but on new one (OVH) it just.. yeah.You could play with IPs, assuming this challenge is a simple security challenge caused by IP Reputation, trying to get OVH to rotate yours, try via both IPv4 (curl w/ -4) and IPv6 (curl -6), might be a faster temp fix
The issue happens too on few other random sites i picked thats using CF, so thats kinda weird, on another server i get any response, forbidden or a simple html site but on this VPN i always get that challenge.
Yea, sounds like IP Reputation
