Cloudflare is a frigging nightmare if you're outside the US and on a dynamic ip(which includes pretty much everyone in India.)
I keep having to enter a captcha on links from HN, because a lot of people apparently use them.
Things like these(although probably helpful to the site authors) are actually breaking the internet unfortunately.
- dmix 14y agoThis is a fair criticsm. Although I banned China, Russian and some eastern euro countries after getting hit heavy by spammers and using Cloudflare to see that they all came from there. Spam went down by 99% after that. The caveat is that none of my signups were coming from those countries (where Diabetes is less prevalent).
- eli 14y agoFWIW, Cloudflare lets you configure how aggressive you want it to be in blocking "threats." The default seems a bit strong, but there's an option labelled "essentially off"
- kevingadd 14y agoI don't think that option was there initially, at least not for the free tier. It's nice that it's there now.
