They say “endpoint in the UK” and “VPN Server in the UK”, and that they could not confirm whether outside the UK would still block.
Cloudflare blocks UK requests. If you use a VPN you choose which country you send the requests from.
Cloudflare as a separate entity from the VPN provider can’t know where requests originally came from. That’s the whole point of the VPN.
There is nothing new here. The article seems to misunderstand and to misrepresent.
Adding another free alternative; The free Cloudflare Warp for a semi-VPN. You can’t choose your output node, but your traffic gets routed through their network.
It can run in proxy mode as well if you prefer only your torrent traffic being routed through it.
