Telus access problem!

For the last couple of days I am having a lot of trouble reaching 
certain web sites, "telus.com" being one of them. After a lengthy 
investigation I find that Telus is using a reverse proxy provided 
by "Cloudflare [172.66.0.98]". A reverse proxy sits in front of an 
origin server and ensures that no client ever communicates directly 
with that origin server. Some time ago, I had a similar problem with 
"VBForums.com". I was able to work around that issue by enabling 
"turnstile.workers.dev", but that doesn't seem to have an impact here.

Anyone having a similar problem?

  • Here is another example. Telus neighborhood (forum.telus.com)

    traces to "forum.telus.com.cdn.cloudflare.net [162.159.140.100]",

    which belongs to:

    NetRange: 162.158.0.0 - 162.159.255.255

    OrgName: Cloudflare, Inc.

    Country: US

    It appears that the problem is associated with Cloudflare.
