HN user says UCEPROTECT blacklists entire hosting ASNs, charges fee to delist

A Hacker News poster reports discovering their website was blocked by Orange's security filters because their IP, hosted on DigitalOcean's ASN 14061, was listed on UCEPROTECT's Level 3 blacklist. The poster says the listing applies to the entire ASN rather than any specific wrongdoing, and that UCEPROTECT's whitelisting service charges about $30/month or $108/year to remove innocent IPs from the list. They add that checking other major hosting providers' ASNs showed similar blacklisting.
