Sorry for being kinda off-topic, but what's going on with these small(-ish) businesses configuring their websites to block users randomly through Cloudflare nowadays? I've seen this happened at least 5 times this week clicking random links, they are all local business websites.

I'm talking about https://www.caseys.com in this article, which gives me

    Access denied
    Error code 1020
    You do not have access to www.caseys.com.

    The site owner may have set restrictions that prevent you from accessing the site."
Is this a GDPR measure (but My IP is in Japan, not EU), anti-proxy measure (I do use one), or cost-saving measure?
