Cloudflare: Errors 1006, 1007, 1008: Your IP address has been banned

The exact message
Access denied: Your IP address has been banned

What it means

Cloudflare groups errors 1006, 1007, 1008 and 1106 under one heading: Access denied, your IP address has been banned. The documented cause is that a Cloudflare customer blocked traffic from your client or browser, typically by IP. Cloudflare's page does not distinguish the four numbers further, so treat them as the same situation.

For automation, an IP ban usually means the owner saw traffic from your IP or range that they did not want: high volume, abusive patterns from another user of a shared IP, or a policy of blocking hosting and cloud ranges. Cloudflare also notes that 1006 can appear in the Workers Preview tab when a zone's security settings block the Google Cloud Platform IPs that preview uses.

For the site owner, the ban is in IP Access rules, IP lists or a custom rule.

What it looks like

Error 1006
Ray ID: 8a1b2c3d4e5f6789
Access denied: Your IP address has been banned

Why it happens

  • The owner added your IP or its range to an IP Access rule or block list.
  • Another tenant of a shared or cloud IP caused the ban.
  • The owner blocks hosting and data-center ranges.
  • Zone Lockdown or similar rules allow only specific IPs.

How to fix it

  1. Visitors: ask the website owner to investigate their Cloudflare security settings or allow your client IP, as Cloudflare recommends.
  2. Note your public IP and the Ray ID to include in the request.
  3. Do not rotate IPs to get around a ban; it confirms the behavior the owner blocked.
  4. If you need the data, ask for API access or an allowlist entry.
  5. Site owners: check IP Access rules, lists and Zone Lockdown for the IP, and narrow overly broad ranges.

How to stop it recurring

Integrators: run jobs from stable, dedicated IPs you can share with partners for allowlisting, and keep request rates modest. Site owners: document why ranges are blocked and review lists periodically so stale bans do not catch legitimate users.

Retries and timeouts without writing the loop

Autonoly's HTTP Request node and browser steps have per-node retries, timeouts and continue-on-fail, so a transient 429 or 503 can back off instead of failing the run. It has no proxies or IP rotation: if a site blocks automated traffic, that block applies to Autonoly too.
