Ask HN: What to do when CloudFlare is on an Adult block list

We got a call this morning from a client that couldn't access his website from his home broadband (Sky UK). After an hour of investigation it turned out that one of the IPs that CloudFlare returns for the DNS query for the site is on an "Adult Content" blocklist.

Moving off CloudFlare is difficult now as Google has identified the clients site as SSL and the client doesn't have the budget for the $20 a month it costs to add SSL to Heroku.

I have contacted CloudFlare about this, but thought I'd mention to HN that some of the CloudFlare IPs are blocked in the UK on certain ISPs.
