Where do I request to remove Cloudflare block on my IP?
I seem to be blocked by Cloudflare while attempting to visit microcenter.com.
I think I got blocked by accident. Since my Windscribe VPN add-on in OperaGX starts automatically, sites like Micro Center would open while the VPN was still on, then I'd quickly disable it and reload the page immediately, which probably created repeated page refreshes from different IPs, which got me flagged by Cloudflare as a bot.
I've turned off the VPN add-on now so it won't turn on during startup, while also avoiding VPN use on the site. So this issue likely won't reappear.
Where can I contact support to get unblocked? I had several items in my cart.

Running into the same issue. Placed everything in my cart from my phone and swapped to my desktop, which was not using VPN, when the block happened. I'm seeing forums all over citing this issue.
My phone VPN never establishes out of the country so it's definitely not an international blocking issue. All devices in the house are blocked so I know it's my public IP.
If it's the use of a VPN period then I may just cancel my microcenter cc and stop shopping at the new location they just opened. The fact that they don't have a service email or form to handle unblock requests is concerning. Unblock requests should not be processed through a public forum.
I will stop doing business with microcenter until this is resolved, and my current purchase is going elsewhere (Bambu, Amazon, and I shudder to include Newegg and Best Buy as well).

i had a few pages on microcenter open so i could compare gpu and monitor prices for my buddy. got up to go get dinner came back and it had you have been blocked as well not on a vpn. this seems to be an issue from Cloudflare not microcenter trying to crack down on bots that were flooding their systems and causing outages.
