Just to follow up here, I have an ongoing discussion with Cloudflare folks to sort this out. I hope to have more news to share shortly, but we’re working on it aggressively

My apologies for the slow reply, @pes10k.

I’m connecting from the UK. I’d be happy to share the URLs I’m seeing the issue on, but it actually seems the issue has resolved. I recall that cloudflare.com itself inaccessible, but, I’ve just successfully accessed the website. In addition, a few minutes ago, https://sportsbikeshop.co.uk actually showed the DDOS protection screen for a second before redirecting successfully.

Good news from a practicality standpoint, but perhaps not for issue reproduction! I shall get in touch, though, if I see it again.

Thanks for your assistance with this.
