Hi,
Maybe I missed an announcement but please could someone explain why I am
seeing:

DDoS protection by Cloudflare
Ray ID: 56b9671cdc01e608
whilst going to an ietf mailman page?
What is Cloudflare checking for? What is Cloudflare’s privacy policy
for this “service”?
BTW the link
https://www.cloudflare.com/5xx-error-landing?utm_source=iuam shown as
the text “DDoS protection by Cloudflare” doesn’t provide any
explanation.
