What causes Cloudflare to block access to Apps?

Used same apps for years and now I’m blocked and cloudflare is to blame.

Can someone give me some idea of how to fix this?

I contacted the website I was blocked from and they said it was an issue with cloudflare, not them.

I have the same issue. It appears my device had the DNS changed to Cloudflare for some sites. There is an app (or there was an app last time I looked) in the Apple Store that allows you to change DNS (Domain Name Server). This is happening on my IPhone. I’m not aware of how to change the DNS with only an iPhone. I never bought the app to change the DNS? It could also be accomplished with an internal redirect, either with hardware (like a hidden router) or other software. I’ve tried to contact Cloudflare, but idk the account name (since I never set it up). Looks like Cloudflare is a good security software to protect a website, but I don’t have a website.
