    Hi,

    Can you tell me what exactly they’re seeing? If it is Wordfence blocking them, then you’ll see a page that contains a red message saying why they’ve been blocked.

    Do you have Falcon enabled?

    Regards,

    Mark.

    Falcon enabled.

    The message (translated) received on the Russian end is below. From a basic google search, my sites are not the only ones impacted. Suspects may be Cloudflare or a shared IP address, but would appear not to be Wordfence. BTW, thank you for Wordfence!

    Dear users!

    We apologize, but access to the requested resource is limited.

    Possible reasons for limiting access:

    Actually it appears to be the Russian government. Here’s a canadian bobsledder who’s site was blocked by them. Same message:

    I’m curious why your site would be blocked.

    Thank you, yes. Limited google searching suggests the Cloudflare CDN or, I suppose, a shared IP as potential culprits. Kind of weird. Nothing controversial or conceivably anti-Russian on any of my sites.

    I’d like to investigate this more. Can you send the URL of your website to genbiz@wordfence.com and include a link to this forum posting? Make the subject ‘blocked by Russia’.

    Thanks.
