If it blocks your IP, wouldn’t everyone who came to your house get banned as long as they’re using your Wi-Fi?

A little unrelated, but sometimes the DDoS protection can be a little too sensitive. The website of my school hands out temporary IP bans even if you just hit refresh too fast.

    I recently got temporarily IP-banned from a site, apparently for subscribing to one of their RSS feeds and occasionally opening a post. The error page they served me (instead of the content I wanted to read) accused me of "botting". Why even have RSS feeds then? 🤷‍♂️
