Since the introduction of Cloudflare protection, it's very hard to enter the forum

[adamstan]

Hi,

Recently I have a lots of trouble when trying to open the forums. On my laptop PC I have to reload/refresh page multiple times until it loads the forum, while on my phone it stays on the "just wait a moment" Cloudflare screen forever - it just keeps reloading that page on and on.

For now it seems to be ok - forum loads instantly both on PC and phone. Thanks

Try installing the privacypass browser add on as well, it makes cloudflare very happy.

Requiring a privacy pass browser add on just to let people access the site consistently sounds like bad design.

I did not say it was required, and I have nothing to do with the running of the site. I was offering a useful workaround that saves me a bucketload of time on a truckload of sites thanks to the all pervasive spam/bot/ddos world we live in, not just this one. Do with the information what you please...

While I understand why the protection is needed, admittedly it's quite annoying to wait for Cloudflare page to finally showing the forum page, especially on android where I did open the page for the whole night and turned out it didn't get the result. As for how I cope with this, I did browse the forum using Mozilla browser which turned out is quite faster when it come to loading Cloudflare, and after I installed Mozilla in android I finally manage to browse the forum in my handphone. Anyway thanks for finally loosening the protection there.

Since the aforementone loosening I have no problems accesing the forum on android.

I was having issues entering the forum too, basically most of the time I wasnt able to enter at all, now it works perfectly, I don't think it's even showing up even.

If it did I'm sure it wasn't because of you or something you did in vndb.. b-baka!

For last week or two I am again unable to access forums either from desktop or phone when on my home network (currently I'm using the phone with mobile network).

Now I'm encountering another weird problem when trying to enter forum at home. I can access the site from the Edge browser (as I'm doing right now), but it doesn't load in Firefox (it keeps endlessly reloading the "checking security connection" page). OTOH at work computer it works in FF too.
