IPs accessing after being added to csf.deny

csf v 14.22

I have noticed a lot of cloudflare IP's accessing my site. I added them to my csf.deny file but see they are still accessing my site.

Using cPanel and WHM.

Any ideas why they can still access the site? Been using csf successfully prior to this.

Using .htaccess file to deny access works. For anyone else having the same issue with csf:
