  1. That could be the case also, but your average user couldn't be bothered to add an exception - they'd just disable it globally, which is a horrible idea, but that's what most would do. Mind you, since CF has multiple nodes, they'd have to do this almost every time they re-visit the site (see: round-robin DNS). Some users even thought I was distributing malware on my site because it was blocked. Likewise, this will only make all parties involved look bad. I can only hope that both companies reach a consensus on this issue, or I'm afraid I'll have to bring my business elsewhere.
  2. There are better ways to deal with this problem. I recommended Malwarebytes to multiple users of my website, which happens to utilize Cloudflare for load-balancing, (some) spam protection and resource caching. They liked it so much that they bought it, enabling the protection and blacklist module. Now, I have received reports from those multiple people that my site was inaccessible. Possible solutions: 1) Disable CF on my website (hurtful to me) 2) Get my users to disable MBAM (hurtful to them) The longer that this predicament exists, the longer that both companies look unprofessional. Perhaps there are better blacklisting techniques that could be utilized by MBAM, like hostname bans alongside the usual IP bans instead of just IP bans. Blacklisting a whole CDN is a bad idea. It's like blacklisting Facebook just because a few bad apples used it to spread malware. Sure, you're solving the malware problem, but how many other problems are you creating in the process?
