What this post added

This post leverages Cloudflare Radar's data on TCP resets and timeouts to corroborate reports of Turkmenistan unblocking IP addresses and potentially testing a new firewall. It analyzes historical data from mid-2024, showing a surge in requests from Turkmenistan and corresponding shifts in TCP connection anomalies, particularly in specific autonomous systems. The post highlights how analyzing network-level anomalies can provide insights into state-level internet control and tampering, complementing existing threat management capabilities.
