This doesn’t make sense.

They say “endpoint in the UK” and “VPN Server in the UK”, and that they could not confirm whether outside the UK would still block.

Cloudflare blocks UK requests. If you use a VPN you choose which country you send the requests from.

Cloudflare as a separate entity from the VPN provider can’t know where requests originally came from. That’s the whole point of the VPN.

There is nothing new here. The article seems to misunderstand and to misrepresent.

Any VPN worth using would provide their own DNS service

For the first time, this also means that using a virtual private network (VPN) won’t bypass these restrictions, as long as the server is based in the UK.

So a VPN will help? lol.
