Anyone else blocked by the stupid cloudflare scam about not having 3rd party cookies enabled meaning you have virus on your computer? And preventing them from reading the article?

I didn't know Cloudflare was that harsh, that's frustrating, sorry about that :(

  I had to read your fine post from the google cache, missing on the pretty pictures: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:hUwlhkhc_pAJ:www.ewanleith.com/blog/956/my-60-arm-server+http://www.ewanleith.com/blog/956/my-60-arm-server&cd=1&hl=en&ct=clnk&client=safari http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:hUwlhkh...

    Hmm, I might need to disable cloudflare then, frustrating really as it's a clever service.

      Set the CloudFlare security level to low. I found anything above low results in too many false positives which ends up frustrating legit users like nico. I don't know why 3rd party cookies would matter though.

Huh? I browse constantly with third party cookies disabled in Safari and Chrome and never have a problem. I can see that site perfectly. And that's certainly not how CloudFlare decides that your machine is likely to be infected. What are you seeing when you visit the site?

  I was browsing with firefox with 3rd party cookies disabled, and I saw this message a few times. What irks me and triggered my kvetching is that I "played the game" and did submitted the captcha 3 times and it still didn't work. Twice in Firefox and once in Safari in private browsing mode. Here is a screenshot, with my I.P. address at the bottom: http://imgur.com/n9xFG http://imgur.com/n9xFG It looks scam-y too with the "google pays me $x a day" and "automated profit package" ads. P.S.: I remember seeing it on a blog post on jgc.org at least once, as well as on joyoftech a ago but not today.

    Thanks. I'll take this up with the folks in San Francisco and see why you were seeing that.

      Thank you for looking into it.

    You are not seeing that page because your cookies are blocked. You are seeing that page because CloudFare believes your IP address is behaving badly, for whatever reasons. ( see https://www.google.com/webhp#q=202.72.107.83 https://www.google.com/webhp#q=202.72.107.83 ) Instead of outright blocking all traffic from known bad IP addresses, they have a mechanism to let actual users go in. That mechanism relies on a captcha flow, and on setting a cookie in the user's browser to bypass the IP block. Disclaimer: I am inferring all of this from your screenshot. CloudFare's actual process and intent may vary.
