    Here's a #VPN experiment for you...

    1. Select #Chicago as your VPN's connection endpoint.

    2. Go to deviantart.com

    3. Find out your page request is blocked by #Cloudflare

    4. Reselect a new endpoint to Toronto, CA

    5. Reload your blocked browser

    6. Hmmmm - weird, huh?

    Why do I get the feeling we're being punked, or is this just a prelude to more GOP web nonsense? Why DeviantArt, you may ask? I wanted to see something there, and got curious... otherwise, I have no clue why.

    WTF...!

    If I do the same steps on my phone instead of my desktop... I can't see DeviantArt at all, no matter what endpoint I choose.

    EDIT: I have to completely disable my VPN to get access to the site...!?!?!

    DeviantArt as-seen in my phone's browser after totally disabling my VPN.
