1006 Error

A 1006 Access Denied: Your IP address has been banned error is a Cloudflare-specific error code for:

“The website owner has added your specific IP address to their security ban list.”

A Cloudflare Error 1006 indicates that the website owner or Cloudflare’s security firewall has explicitly banned your IP address from accessing the website.

Common causes

A website administrator has created a Cloudflare security rule (in IP Access Rules or Web Application Firewall) that explicitly blocks your IP address from accessing the website.

Resolution

If you are a visitor

  • Provide the website owner with a screenshot of the 1006 error page, including the Ray ID and your client IP address displayed at the bottom of the page.
  • If you are on a VPN or public Wi-Fi, try disconnecting from the VPN or switching to mobile data, as VPN IP addresses are frequently shared with abusive actors.

If you are the website owner

  • Search your Cloudflare dashboard under Security > WAF > Tools > IP Access Rules for the visitor’s IP address and remove the Block action if the ban was unintentional.
  • Check Security > Events to review the specific firewall rule that triggered the block.
