Yep. Use a modern corporate browser and you'll have no problems personally (or so I assume from everyone saying so, I don't use chrome). Use anything else (ie, not-modern corp browser like FF pre-XUL death or some modern non-corporate browser) and you'll get blocked. I'm still getting blocked, btw. And it is cloudflare's block page. And it happens from my residential (comcast) IPv4 and multiple test IPv4 from other netblocks.
It is real. People are being blocked. Even if you aren't.
