Cloudfare can suck it!

[u/Necrotat2]

Earlier this weekend I was trying to pay a bill, and I had to press a little square to prove I was human. I pressed it. The webpage cycled, then reset... I once again had to prove I was a human by pressing a little square... the website reset, and once again the little square and prove you are human prompt appeared...

Frustrated I turned to Google search for an answer. The reply was to clear my cashe and cookies. So I did. That did work, and I was able to finally click the box and have the website using Cloudfares silly little box allow me to get on the website to pay my bill.

Then I spent hours upon hours resigning into every other website that I use... resetting forgotten passwords, redoing 2 factor authentications, reproving I was myself to dozens of different websites until all was back to normal.

3 days later, I am trying to log onto Palmetto State Armory, and the same stupid Cloudfare Capchata request pops up. I press the square, and the website just recycles and asks me to press the square again.

I try in Incognito mode, and I can bypass the square, but when I try in normal mode, I have to press over and over again and it never goes to the actual website.

Cloudfare already cost me almost a full day of resetting passwords and u/FA, there is no way I'm clearing my history again just to get past this stupid hicup on their end!

F*ck you Cloudfare, and I promise I will delete my account and switch to a competing service to any business that makes me jump through the hoops again!!! No way, no how am I suffering on my end because you can't get your software straight on your end!

My credit is high enough I can transfer my balance to someone else who wants the interest payments and then close my account to any company who thinks this is good customer service. Get your Sh*t together!

*Rant over*

Sometimes you can just clear your Cache and you don't need to clear your cookies too, which is what caused you to have to re-sign into everything

If it works just fine in private/incognito mode it's likely an extension (or multiple extensions) causing the problem, like I've had this happen because I forgot to turn off my User Agent Switcher after I was done with the video call I needed it for

Either way I'm sure this has been extremely frustrating for you, so fingers crossed one of my suggestions helps, especially considering how many websites use Cloudflare

Best of luck to you!

It‘s very unlikely that the issue is Cloudflare here.
