I'm happy you are fine.
OK, I will remove mirror server then, you should remove previously added lines from /etc/hosts

Hello. Well, not so, everything is fine, as we would like. But we are still living, and this is already good. A person gets used to any living conditions.

Again, your site is blocked and is not accessible from the territory of Ukraine without a proxy. Most likely, it is not your site that is being blocked, but an entire ip subnet.

It so happened that one of my own new sites that I added to CloudFlare was also unavailable from Ukraine. Checking the IP assigned from CloudFlare showed that my site is on the same IP along with your site.

Naturally, I started looking for a solution and asked a question on the CloudFlare forum. They answered me there:
The 188.x range is notoriously blocked by lots of ISPs or regulatory bodies - you can’t really change anything about the IP’s you are assigned other than paid plans which have different pools of IPs. Removing & readding the domain might get you new IPs, but no guarantees.
It turns out that this range 188.114.96.0-188.114.97.255 is bad and this is a problem with access not only for Ukraine. So your site may not be available for other countries, just no one wrote.

With my website, I solved this problem by deleting the domain from CloudFlare and redirected it to the DNS of the free service. And in order not to transfer the site, I just proxied this domain through Nginx of another server. After seven days (when the domain records were completely deleted from CloudFlare's memory), I added the domain to CloudFlare again. And lo and behold, CloudFlare assigned an IP in the range 172.67.48.0-172.67.63.255, now everything is working fine.

Perhaps you should also do this to get away from a bad pool of IP addresses.
