I stumbled across this article and agree, monero.town should not be associated with Cloudflare either. Maybe the operator can replace it by using Arweave?

A form of “DDoS protection” where every possibly suspicious connection is blocked permanently/indiscriminately is considered harmful both for the website itself and online freedom. I stopped using monero.town when it started blocking everyone on Tor after DDoSed via some stupid Tor abusers in 2024. In general we need DDoS protection, but it was unexpected and ironic to see that all-too-familiar “you are blocked because you’re a privacy-oriented user” screen from Cloud-something here on a monero-related website.
Today I happened to notice that they have unblocked Tor (don’t know since when) and the website still exists though perhaps being less active than it used to be.
“Sorry, you have been blocked You are unable to access monero.town”
