Yeah, you're right. I had to go into the dashboard on my Cloudflare account and turn off bot blockers. The cool thing is, I found out that if you put robots.txt, most people use it to basically steer away anything. I pretty much just left it blank so it's compliant, but anyhow, so far, so good. The web server is authenticated as a secure site, and then the old protocols that just don't know how to speak modern authentication are resolved using a gray DNS table entry in my DNS mapping.
