Cloudflare Blocks ASN 16276 from matthew.verive.me

The website matthew.verive.me is currently blocking access to visitors whose IP addresses belong to autonomous system number (ASN) 16276. This restriction is implemented through Cloudflare's security features, which allow website owners to block entire network ranges based on their ASN identifiers.

The error message displayed to affected users provides a Cloudflare Ray ID (9ce55fcc8b58bf1d) for troubleshooting purposes and directs visitors to Cloudflare's documentation on Error 1005 for more information. The blocking mechanism is part of Cloudflare's broader suite of security tools designed to give website administrators granular control over who can access their content.

ASN blocking is typically used when website owners want to restrict access from specific internet service providers, hosting companies, or other network operators. This can be done for various reasons including security concerns, geographic restrictions, or compliance requirements. The autonomous system number 16276 represents a specific network operator whose customers are now unable to access the matthew.verive.me website.

The implementation of such blocking measures highlights the increasing sophistication of web security tools available to individual website owners. Cloudflare's platform enables even small website operators to implement enterprise-level security controls that were previously only available to large organizations with dedicated security teams.

Visitors affected by this block who believe it to be in error would need to contact the website owner directly or use alternative means to access the content, such as a VPN service that provides an IP address from a different ASN.
