If I use http in the url (not https), the site looks like this:
When I ping the site, it responds:
And it looks like GoL server shares IP with some sites those are blocked in Russia (where I live) for hosting illegal TV series, hentai images or just without a reason. Our government blocks IPs, not domain names, and they don't give a damn if there are other sites affected.
Then I discovered GoL got moved to a different server recently:
So I think, that's when this problem appeared.
Also, that second to last picture is not our IP, it has "31" where as ours is "30".
Does your ISP or country block certain types of sites?

There are many blocked web-sites, and if any law court or Roskomnadzor itself decides to ban one more, every ISP in Russia is forced to block access to it.

I despise Cloudfare for this reason, I would never choose to use something that creates so much breakage for no good reason. They should be able fix this, yet they choose not to.

I don't think that this website was blocked by the government. When it happens you get redirected to the page that says "This website is blocked blah blah...", but it's just gives me timeout error after very long wait.
