IP address blocking banned in Austria after court ordered ISP to block Cloudflare IP's

Reply in thread

It's in the first paragraph.

In 2022, rightsholders obtained permission in Austria to block several pirate site domains and a list of IP addresses that actually belonged to Cloudflare. ISPs had no choice but to comply with the court's instructions which took out countless Cloudflare customers in Austria. According to reviews conducted by local telecoms regulator TKK, the IP address blocking violated net neutrality regulations and will no longer be allowed.

In other words, only domain blocking will be allowed, IP blocking will not be permitted, and cloudflare IPs must be unblocked again.

I don't see the need to vilify Cloudflare. So far, they have shown nothing but respect towards net neutrality, fighting against bad internet practices (like Google), and even standing up to ISPs and governments to protect their users, whether they're pirates or not.

They have been around long enough (10+ years) to let you judge them and their services through their actions, not rumours.
