They've just taken over authorative DNS. The captchas come from their CDN product.

You can't use https://esta.cbp.dhs.gov/esta/ from my country without an infinity of hcaptchas by CF turnstile.

A particular .gov domain using Cloudflare (although from my DNS lookups, that one is not) is unrelated to Cloudflare managing the authoritative DNS servers for the .gov TLD. The fact that only a specific .gov domain - not all of them - has this issue demonstrates that.

Are you sure about that?

esta.cbp.dhs.gov seems to served by akamai at least for me.

Also turnstile and hcaptchas are same product(captcha) by 2 different companies.

That’s definitely an Akamai IP. I’d be quite surprised if they were leading address space to a direct competitor.
