buttnovice Posted April 27 Posted April 27 (edited) Every now and then when opening this site, I get a prompt to verify that I am human from cloudfare. Not wanting to click on it, I can usually wait a little or restart my browser and get in. Is this legit? I will try to post a screen shot. Thanks!! Edited April 27 by buttnovice my error
+ sync Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Thanks for that. I've been experiencing the same, but I didn't think ahead the way you did, I clicked on it. Nothing bad so far, but now I know to wait it out or restart the browser for access.

+ JamesB Posted April 27 Posted April 27 Cloudflare is a web infrastructure and cybersecurity company. It speeds up websites by storing copies of them on servers around the world. Blocks DDoS massive traffic attacks and filters out hackers, bots, and other malicious activity. It’s used by millions of websites and it’s considered very safe and trusted. If you see Cloudflare while browsing, it usually just means the site you're visiting is protected by them. They also offer a free App for phones and computers, Cloudflare 1.1.1.1 App, which works rather well. MikeBiDude, + sync and + azdr0710 1 2

Just make sure that: 1.- You're visiting a known, trusted website (e.g., a store, forum, or service you use). 2.- The URL in the browser is correct and starts with https://.
+ Alabastrine Posted May 13 Posted May 13 A couple of years ago Cloudflare started using a stricter security ruleset that has a bit of a hair-trigger, and thinks just about everyone is a bot. All you have to do is look at a website wrong and up pops the human check. I wouldn't say that "everyone" uses cloudflare, but it's VERY popular.
