This can happen if your provider has assigned you a blacklisted IP address. If you don't have a static IP address, you'll be assigned a new one after a random period of time. If you don't want to wait, restarting your router will automatically assign a new IP address to your subscription.

Thankyou for your reply, i just want to ensure tailwindcss is no country blocking, do you think is google DNS problem?

in my router is use google DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4, still no idea why can't read the tailwindcss document

Unfortunately, with questions like this, the issue is usually on your end, which makes it hard to reproduce and difficult to provide an accurate answer. Just what comes to mind:

If the website was working before, then this is definitely not a DNS issue. DNS name servers only resolve the domain name to an IP address. So if you're able to find the IP address of tailwindcss.com, then DNS is working correctly.

If the site doesn't load - but you've already resolved its IP (which is DNS's job) - then the issue is likely with your provider. If you're making requests to Cloudflare's servers from a blacklisted IP address, it’s common for the request to be denied.

(DNS servers can be understood as the phone books of the internet world. If your machine cannot find the IP address for a domain name, it will return a clear error message indicating the problem. Since you haven’t shared any clear error message, I assume this is not the issue, or your question is imprecise.)

By the way - at your own risk - I recommend trying the Cloudflare WARP application to avoid such problems. It offers two modes: one that simply changes your DNS to their 1.1.1.1 resolver, and another that routes your traffic through their own servers. The latter may solve the issue for you.

yes the website was working before, now use Cloudflare WARP to read document, may be i try renew the IP later.
