Are you sure it’s not the Cloudflare customers choosing to block the Cogent ASN? i.e. are you seeing a CF blocking message rather than just a transit failure? Reason I ask is because we see a reasonable number of bot attacks sourced from AS174 end customers, so I could see sites like the ones you mentioned choosing to block rather than challenge. Cloudflare’s challenges seem to be getting bypassed by bots more and more lately, and their support doesn’t seem to care, so some users may resort to blocking.

Three Cogent circuits from two clients in two states are blocked. I opened a ticket with Cogent, but the last time this happened, they just shrugged and said "not our fault." Are any other Cogent customers seeing this? Any advice on how to resolve? Here are the sites we see blocked by Cloudflare. https://www.americanbar.org/ https://www.ballys.com/ https://investor.fanatics.com/investor-relations/default.aspx Jon Miller Bose McKinney & Evans LLP This message and any attachments may contain legally privileged or confidential information, and are intended only for the individual or entity identified above as the addressee.
