That the relations between EU and USA are not in an historical maximum, no discussion... but enemy? The hyperbole is a little big too far fetched.
> I hope EU companies will stop manufacturing US airplanes and other things.
Independent of how little we may like current US politics: a) it will probably change, more sooner than later. And b) starting a trade war with the US is not very good idea. We like it or not, there are many things that we need desperately to be able to produce. Starting with computers and SW. And please don't start with "OOS SW" as much as I like the idea, and I constantly advocate for it, even if we start yesterday, it will take decades to build everything again.
USA an enemy to EU because of Venezuela? LMAO, EU has said nothing. In fact we agree. We have no relations to Venezuela. Now if the USA attacks Greenland, that is different.
It is perfectly normal for an anycast network operator to have multiple sites from which they make BGP announcements (which is how anycast works in the first place), which gives them multiple vantage points for this sort of analysis.
Other CDN companies can do it too, it's just that they don't work on signalling their engineering focused organization.
This was a while ago but I think it was Akamai that pioneered that. I remember how impressive it was in the early oughts though we take it for granted now.
Until their systems block you for no reason. I recently had a similar issue on a work related site. Fortunately, I was able to reach to the administrator (which is on another country) and had the knowledge to write a report which was useful enough for the said administrator.
And this is for a system which has the same static IP which is not shared with anything for 10ish years.
I recently, with great reluctance, had to put a personal site behind Cloudflare free option. It gets lots of use, but brings no revenue (costs me to run) and I have little spare time.
Found out that I was blocked from it in my default setup. Firefox with default settings, and no VPN.
I'm working hard to turn Cloudflare off.
Cloudflare is not remotely awsome. It's also a solution to a problem (aggressive scrapers that produce DOS) which is worse.
Yes and that is a very bad thing for the rest of the world. Time for non-us companies especially ones not doing business in the US to migrate away.
I wouldn't touch anything US-based with 10m long pole.
At this this, US is basically enemy to EU. Good for us, we will be less dependent on US global oil police.
I hope EU companies will stop manufacturing US airplanes and other things.

You don't have to be cloudflare for this kind of analysis you can do it yourself without even needing an ASN using RIPE RIS.

Systems get infected, and new "residential proxies" get made of unsuspecting internet subscribers all the time.
It's just another IP to them.
