I have finally given up on so many websites that refuse to believe I am human even after clicking the stupid box at least 6 times.

The bottom line up front: its not a Cloudflare issue or a Canadian online retailer issue, it's legitimately an issue caused by something on your side.

Cloudflare has the best AI, malware, DDoS, and botnet protection i have ever seen from any commercial provider in my 30 years of being in tech.

The fact that it's blocking your IP means you have a concerning issue with your network. If you are paying for a ISP that uses mobile networks to give you internet, you are likely being flagged because someone else is on your CGNAT doing fucky things and you need to switch to another ISP.

Or your own network in your house is compromised and you are genuinely part of a botnet that Cloudflare sees as a threat and blocked you.

I switched to Linux recently and immediately started getting cloudflare bot checks.

This happened to me on Debian with Firefox. Librewolf has no issues even though it’s a Firefox fork.

I'm an idiot and didn't have proper reading comprehension, please accept my apologies.

Yeah, it may be an issue with the distro using a non-standard DNS as the resolver IP. What does it have it set as default in your settings?

It constantly blocks me for no reason, and has for years. There's very little chance that I'm part of a botnet. They're just wrong.

Bullshit. If flags immediately if you have

a) an adblocker b) a VPN c) Linux d) Any sort of security hardened browser like Cromite or degoogled Chromium or Fennec, etc...

It's not about someone doing something fucky on your network. It's about daring to do something that deprives the tech giants of profit. It's the next evolution of the "please disable your adblocker to continue viewing this site" message.

I have all of the things you just listed (also have a network tap running OPNSense, Suricata, Unbound, and with a SIEM intercepting ALL my net traffic to filter and reroute through my Cloudflare & Quad9 DNS name-server/resolver/TLD, along with AdGuard using a Hagezi blocklist) and rarely get flagged to prove I'm a human, if not ever. So what the fuck is really going on here?

What you are saying is entirely bullshit.

Don't use that site as the only diagnostic; it doesn't have a comprehensive check, and also doesn't support IPv6 so it is extremely limited in scope.

First, go here to grab both your IPv4 address and IPv6 address (in case you are CGNAT), then go here and search for both of your IPs.

Edit: I don't think I was clear, but the second link is what all cybersecurity analysts use, amongst a slew of other tools to confirm malicious activity.
