Cloudflare acting up today?

[kirbibi]

Never really had problem with this site using a VPN and tracking blocker.
But today i am endlessly stuck on the cloudflare verification. I get that the site needs the protection against botnets. but why cloudflare it's a shit company and product.
I don't know if you guy's upped the security between certain hours or days, but the site is pretty much inaccessible for me atm.
For some reason i get get around it by using one of the refresh buttons, but that only lasts for 30secs before i get booted to the verification screen again.
Sometimes the verification page even starts taking up 100% of my CPU for a few seconds. Is cloudflare crypto-mining or something. Never seen that happen ever before.
I hope this is temporary, because this makes the site pretty much unusable.

I have no problem using a vpn and adblocker..
But it is a bit slow today...

I've had quite a few problems with cloud-fare before either on their end or mine.

What bothers me the most is when it calls you a bot and you had to solve a captcha.

That´s why I block this.
Site functions fine without cloud flare script.

I haven't even noticed Cloudflare on here, and I am using a VPN.
However, the site has been really slow for me randomly for probably a couple of weeks now.

I have never heard of this before, Isn't the cloudflare verification impossible to bypass as long as they configured it correctly on the server site. It should route every domain trough there right?

I have also never gotten a captcha with cloudflare. When it suddenly starts disliking me on certain sites at random like here today i always just get the checkmark box. And when you check it it just starts over unchecked.

Maybe i could try some other agent strings to get around it. It's really the only method that has worked for me.

 

[User_124703]

Maybe it does not let me pass.
when it is too slow. I change servers.
That happens once or twice a week.

 

[dehydrateddonburi]

Same periodic slowdown for me. My VPN provider has many servers and it seemed hit-or-miss so I'm thinking it's not that.

Cloudfare seems to be having some problems in other websites apparently, either the sites won't open or they're really slow

 

[MattShizzle]

Cloudflare sucks overall. Has problems all over. Big problem is it slows sites down unless they pay. Free version the bandwidth is divided among every site that uses the free version, and that's the vast majority of them.

 

[User_120092]

Cloudflare gives me problems from time to time. Reset internet connection and VPN always does the trick.

hope this issue solved with this website if you have it with other website your whatever vpn or web browser with built in vpn or adone is changing your ip every 30sec blocking the traffic.

 

[MattShizzle]

I noticed on a shit ton of other sites on Chrome pages won't get past the verification screen - the no-bot check doesn't even load up. Have to use fucking MS Edge then. Also, on a lot of sites to buy something for the credit card info screen to be usable (might not have to do with Clownfuck in that case.)

 

[DoesntExist.]

long time a go when they first introduce us to the internet i remember there was this slider in the internet settings security tab if you slide it to the maximum security you only have access microsoft web site and your Internet service provider web site, any other website you try to visit well end up with no internet concoction.

what i am trying to say "you cant have them all" if you want high security you have to give up on something in return, for example you can have flip phone for more security but you have to give up on internet access in return.

 

[Hornydude69]

I can't open more than 2 tabs without cloudfare shitting the bed and asking me to verify I'm human, but then it just keeps refreshing the check instead of going to the page? The site is pretty much unable to be used for me until Cloudflare gets it's shit together or it's removed altogether. I think I've had to remove cookies, refresh, login, then rinse and repeat 10+ times in the last 5 minutes, and that's both with and without VPN.

 

[whinegummi]

All VPN's are not created equal. Some use more sketchy methods of acquiring endpoint IP adresses than others. Some VPN providers are more lax about users using the VPN service in ways that many see as destructive to the general internet.
This means that it is not uncommon for websites etc to try and hinder or block traffic from VPN adresses.

I don't use one at all and I've seen several sites that use Clodflare not work with Google Chrome - and had to use MS Edge.

Use Firefox or Brave rather than edge. Firefox is a different engine than the rest, and Brave isn't trying to compete with cloudflare

Firefox is beyond my computer skill to use.

Brave and Chrome and Edge are all built on the same underlying software, so they work similarly. But Brave doesn't add all of Google's Chrome junk and spycode
