This nightmare is harassing me every other minute..


Is it just me?

If we are many suffering from this and if "our" site is not visited by to much by bots maybe lowering this setting could help me/us?

bad "reputation"!? how rude of cloudflare

Ok, thanks Saint. Its being going for a year at least so i dont think its going away. Its only here though. I use vpn so these ips are shared by multiple users probably, its a sort of common tunnel.

 

Happens occasionally with various sites since a few month here too - with and without VPN.

 

oh, for me its with the vpn, all of the time. Darn cloudfare is way to strict. well i guess these are the unmeasurable levels of sacrifice we must endure to be part of this community

 

I've seen this in other sites Without using vpn

 

I wouldn't worry about it, it's just Cloudfare struggling to send your data to the CIA.

 

apparently its a web-site admin setting, a sort of threshold sites owners can choose to have at higher or lower level, depending on if they have too much bot visits. That from what Ive seen in some comments on cloudflares forum.

Since this seems to be a nice opportunity and I don't think this deserves another thread, I would ask you good people what DNS servers are you using? I use Quad9. Stopped using Cloudflare for pretty much paranoiac reasons of it being US based. @EddieXx

And Google DNS stopped being a thing here about a decade or more ago... and everything Goofle pretty much. Yes, I am a bit paranoiac, but hey - Internet is a Wild West. Has been like that for about 2 decades now. You never know who's listening and with what intentions. Everybody wants to profit from people one way or the other.

Oh, and I also restart the router every few days to change the IP... and I use MAC spoofing. Am I good for a loony bin?

NextDNS.io free tier plus hosts file on all devices.

 

I like NextDNS concept very much, but I am wary of US based DNS services... for various reasons. Let's just say that I like Mr. Snowden a lot.
Quad9 is EU based, in Sweden. The only DNS service outside of the US. Unless you have your own DNS server. That's the next stage of paranoia!
Aside from that, Quad9 DNS queries work very fast from Europe. As fast as Cloudflare. I see NextDNS is also as fast. Nice to know! Goofle is the slowest DNS resolver for me. Probably because so many people just use GoogleDNS. It's pretty crowdy.
