Error 1006 indicates that the website owner has explicitly blocked the visitor's IP address, ASN, or country using Cloudflare's firewall rules, IP Access Rules, or WAF (Web Application Firewall). This is a deliberate access restriction, not a misconfiguration. The site owner has decided that traffic from this IP should be denied. This error may also appear together with 1007 and 1008 which serve similar purposes.
The site owner created a Cloudflare firewall rule or IP Access Rule that blocks the visitor's specific IP address or IP range.
The site owner configured Cloudflare to block traffic from certain countries or autonomous systems (ASNs).
Cloudflare's WAF detected malicious activity from the IP and the site owner's WAF configuration blocks such traffic.
If you are a visitor seeing this error, try disabling your VPN or proxy. The IP address of the VPN exit node may be blocked.
Identify your public IP address and check if it appears on any blocklists or is associated with known malicious activity.
Check Your IPIf you believe you are blocked in error, contact the website owner through an alternative channel and ask them to review their Cloudflare firewall rules.
If you own the site, check Security > WAF > Firewall Rules and Security > WAF > Tools > IP Access Rules in the Cloudflare dashboard for overly broad blocking rules.
