What browser/OS are you using? What country are you in? Are you using Tor?
- coldtea 4y agoIt can happen on both Windows and Mac, with both Chrome/Firefox. I've seen it happen in Western Europe just fine. No Tor. You don't need to have some "exotic" setup to see this. https://www.google.com/search?q=cloudflare+browser+check+annoying https://www.google.com/search?q=cloudflare+browser+check+ann...

- pinko 4y agoForgive the dumb question, but what can a friendly website admin do with the Ray ID you send them, that can help you as a user, assuming they put Cloudflare in the middle as a CAPTCHA in the first place for a reason unrelated to you, and still want/need it there?
- mattl 4y agoThey can look up why you were blocked, your ISP, your local POP, the page you were requesting and if it was because of a firewall rule they’ll see that too. Basically everything unique about your request. So if they’re accidentally blocking people because a firewall rule is misconfigured you’ll let them know. In a previous job we used Cloudflare and found some of our remote workers were triggering a SQL injection on the website by updating our WordPress blog.
