I think what you’re referring to is a known issue with how their server handles cloudflares 1.1.1.1 DNS, not them intentionally being shady.

No, what I am referring to is that they show me a captcha page that they have ripped off from cloudflare.
It is shockingly similar looking. At first I thought they were on an expensive enough Cloudflare plan to remove branding. But 1. the site owner has beef with Cloudflare and 2. Cloudflare doesn't use recaptcha anymore so it does just seem like a very similar theme (IDK if it was actually copied or not, it is not that complex of a design).
It was copied. It's all inline styles with some redundant definitions just like their archiver outputs.
Also you can check /cdn-cgi/trace to see if a site is on cloudflare.
