    Since this morning I'm stuck in a cloudflare loop on some devices.
    I'm in my phone now and it had the same issue but eventually came back with a captcha, my laptop has been redirecting for 30 mins so far...
    Known issue?

    Are you using incognito mode/private browsing, or anything that might block the cookies it uses?

    It appears to be a known issue with cloudfair, I'm having the same issue regularly although I haven't tried turning off Blockada to see if that makes a difference.

    I was asked to complete a Captcha about 6 am.


    I visited the site again around 12.30 but wasn't asked that time.


    I visited again just now and was asked once more.


    I'm on Firefox, not on Incognito and not running any blockers other than Ublock Origin with no restrictions on Boards-related data.

    It drops a time limited cookie after the first captcha, which expires after a few hours, hence the second captcha.

    No, not using anything that I haven't been using for years.

    Today it seems fine, no cloudflare or captcha presented (I never normally get a captcha either)
