A firewall configured on your server or network can block Cloudflare's IPs from accessing your origin server. This blockage prevents the connection, leading to a timeout and the 526 error. You need to ensure Cloudflare's IP ranges are whitelisted in your firewall settings. Check Cloudflare's documentation for the most up-to-date IP ranges.
