The other day they blocked me from accessing Kagi's web site because I was using Kagi's web browser.

Cloudflare is increasingly a problem in terms of blocking huge geographic regions, often without the website operators even being aware this is happening. All in the name of "security."

I second this. Clownflare is agressively blocking: Fennec v149.0.2 - Germany

Here's an alternative source:

Mobile Safari has been giving me a complete loop on these in the past couple months, I have to switch browsers to get through. Anyone else?

"The myth of consensual website use"

User: "I consent"

Website: "I consent"

Cloudflare: "I don't"

Isn't there someone you forgot to ask?

Yeah, I also wanted to comment on this, though I think it’s technically against the rules.

I hit this first on my VPN, so I disconnected, then got asked again from my home wifi. I dunno why I look like a bot to Cloudflare. I hate these prompts and it’s too bad they’re all over the web.

On HN, I often see comments like this, complaining about Cloudflare blocking access to pages. It makes me wonder if it’s due to a particular setup that triggers bot detection – like Tor or no-JS – that HN readers often use, or if Cloudflare has too many false positives.

Those tests are funny in a way because we as humans have to prove that we’re human to a robot
