We further Cloudflare's mission to help build a better Internet by melding research with implementation Latest Research Updates → subscribe to our quarterly newsletter Fresh insights from old data: corroborating reports of Turkmenistan IP unblocking and firewall testing Cloudflare used historical data to investigate reports of potential new firewall tests in Turkmenistan. Shifts in TCP resets/timeouts across ASNs corroborate large-scale network control system changes.

This allows any origin to discover and verify cryptographic keys for bots, fostering a decentralized and more trustworthy ecosystem.
