Hello,
It appears Cloudflare has blocked my IP from its own captcha website - challenges.cloudflare.com. Is there any way I can get the block lifted?

Welcome to the Cloudflare Community. 
Can you share with us the details that have lead you to this conclusion?
Are you encountering issues with all sites that use Cloudflare Turnstile or only specific sites?
Are these your sites or just sites that you are trying to visit?
When troubleshooting Turnstile issues, I find it helps to test from a new browser profile with no extensions to gauge if a browser add-on may be the cause. Testing from another browser can also be a useful diagnostic method.
I opened my computer and went to my usual site. When I needed to refresh it, it said: “Please unblock cloudflare” or somethin’. I’m really ticked off because I spent over 2 hours trying to fix it. Please unblock me because all of my money and information is on the site.
I get the same problem for all sites that use Cloudflare Turnstile. When I use the VPN, everything returns to normal so it doesn’t seem to be a browser issue.

Can you clarify if you are referring to a Cloudflare product, such as Warp, when you say “the VPN” or is it a third-party VPN? I don’t have an immediate answer regardless of how you answer that question, but it may prove useful to know in further diagnosis.

I am currently using a third-party VPN (PrivateVPN in Singapore location) to access this community page.
I’ve tried PrivateVPN Indonesia location and Cloudflare Warp, also works but is very slow in loading the turnstiles.

I was getting the error and fixed by changing the site settings in my chrome browser.
Allowing popups enabled the checkbox to say I was a human.
Really wish Chrome would stop breaking sites like this.
There was also an issue that was fixed that may have been related:
The turnstile loads very quickly when using VPN or Cloudflare Warp. But my primary ISP IP is still blocked.

Please try again later. If you are using a VPN, try turning it off. Check the status page for information on outages.

Hey,
I have been playing for a bit with various websites (also a captcha[.]website) where the JavaScript challenge is activated and unfortunately, all the websites block my connection while Im connected to VPN.
It’s really strange, because I use IPs from all over the world with completely different router settings and each website blocks my requests with a reason “Please unblock challenges[.]cloudflare[.]com to proceed.”
That behavior is really frustrating because when I leave page with message mentioned above for like 1-2 minutes. That text disappear and it loads normal turnstaile widget with ability to click the checkbox, but as you probably expect even if I mark the checkbox it obviously doesn’t let me pass through it and prints an error message under captcha widget or just refresh page and load captcha widget.
Hi I face the same issue when trying to visit apkmirror.com
