| HippoEDIT uses [[http://www.cloudflare.com|CloudFlare]] (CDN) for speeding up loading of pages and caching the static content. Cloudflare servers working as proxies, catch requests to www.hippoedit.com and serving them from cached content for static resources or passing them through for dynamic or outdated content. But there is a small problem: CloudFlare substitute original IP of hippoedit.com by their own IPs and also share these IPs with a lot of other websites. This works OK for most cases, but leads to a problem, when some ISP blocking access to resources based on IP mask. If one of the websites, using CloudFlare and sharing CloudFlare IP is blocked by IP, actually ISP blocks not one site but plenty of other websites sharing the same IP. | <note warning>We do not use CloudFlare any more, so the article is not relevant</note> |

| In Russia, RosKomNadzor (http://rkn.gov.ru) has blocked access to some of the sites hosted on CloudFlare and distribute this information among all Russian ISPs. Some ISP cannot do blocking of resources by name, but do it by IP, leading to blocking of hundreds of other websites. Unfortunately, www.hippoedit.com shares IP with blocked websites and due to this is also not accessible in Russia :(. | In Russia, RosKomNadzor (http://rkn.gov.ru) has blocked access to some of the sites hosted on CloudFlare and distribute this information among all Russian ISPs.
