Likely Causes
  1. Cloudflare 1006 is a policy/configuration response where IP-based access policy blocked the visitor request.

Review Cloudflare dashboard controls relevant to 1006 (DNS, WAF, Access, Rate Limiting, Tunnel).
2
Simulate the blocked request with rule tracing to identify the exact policy match.
3
Adjust allow/deny scope for legitimate traffic while preserving security intent.
4
Confirm hostname/tunnel onboarding and routing targets are complete and healthy.
5
Validate expected traffic now passes without Cloudflare 1006.
