No, just a white page with the exact message I indicated previously. No mention of Cloudflare, either on the page, or in NoScript, Privacy Badger, or uBo.

More like banging your toe against something. At least it doesn’t require “slave labor” to get past it, unlike reCAPTCHA.
Many streaming services explicitly prohibit connecting through VPN and allegedly block known VPN’s IP ranges, usually due to licensing restrictions, as @irvinewade said. Netflix is a prime example.
Well, if you’re logged into any accounts as you move from one hotspot to another, those entities will be able to connect the dots. Possibly also if you have some non-account activity moving across them, e.g. an open website, or other online service. If entities are smart enough, and motivated enough (Hello, Google analytics, Doubleclick, and Meta!), then their scripts could probably correlate data about your device by targeted fingerprinting.
I block scripts like those universally in order to prevent direct data exploitation, at the possible expense of being more easily fingerprinted, even behind a VPN.
(By the way, Pandora is owned by SiriusXM.)
