I would guess medium is blocking digitalocean ips, but i haven't looked into it at all.

I've started getting the same error on my home IP I can (sometimes) view articles locally.

I think it's trying to pull GetPostLight in https://git.batsense.net/realaravinth/libmedium/src/branch/master/schemas/query.graphql:

query GetPostLight($id: ID!) {
    post(id: $id) {
        uniqueSlug
        creator {
            username
        }
    }
}

The closest query I could find in a successful article load (warning long):

Wonder what's up with that.

Did they change their schema? Are they fingerprinting and rejecting queries? Is this rejecting clients who didn't pass a Cloudflare challenge at cdn-cgi/challenge-platform/h/g/precursor/...?
