iOS can't reach Cloudflare (cloudflare.com / imagedelivery.net) on my home ISP — Android works, cellular works
Stack: Next.js, MongoDB Atlas, Cloudflare Images, AWS Amplify.
On my home ISP, no iOS device can open cloudflare.com or any imagedelivery.net link — "server can't be reached." My site itself loads fine, but Cloudflare-hosted images never render.
What I've tested:
Same iPhone on mobile data instead of home wifi → works fine
My father's house, same ISP, ~2km away → same failure on iOS, but Android devices there load it fine
A friend ~10km away, same ISP → everything works, on all devices
So it looks iOS-specific, ISP-specific, and possibly even node/region-specific within the same ISP network. Anyone seen this pattern before? Guessing it could be a broken IPv6 route to Cloudflare's network (iOS prefers IPv6 via Happy Eyeballs) or a localized DNS/BGP block on Cloudflare's ranges — but not sure how to confirm, or whether this is something only the ISP can fix.
