Re: access with cloudflare
I'd say it's definitely NOT any of your plugins etc, nor your VPN. Also note that for me, there was one change recently where I started getting the checkbox in that verification that I didn't get before, but it still worked. Shortly after that Cloudflare clearly made other changes that started the issues you and the rest of us are seeing were it just hangs etc.

Re: access with cloudflare
Since the last time I posted here, I did notice a difference on the challenge page. The embedded iframe used to just show a never ending loading circle, but now I do get a checkbox asking to verify that I'm a human:
Either way, it does seem like cloudflare is working on it, though we're not quite there yet...
Clicking it results in the page refreshing, but I immediately get another challenge. I'm getting the feeling that I'm successfully getting through the challenge, but it's not adding a cookie to prove that I've passed the challenge. (I do get a cloudflare cookie upon entering the challenge page, so it's not like I have something set that doesn't allow cookies.)Either way, it does seem like cloudflare is working on it, though we're not quite there yet...

Re: access with cloudflare
OK...It just worked for me finally. This is using Palemoon 32.2.0 compiled under Gentoo. Clearly they fixed something.

Re: access with cloudflare
All four websites I tried, now work as expected. Looks like this is solved.

Re: access with cloudflare
Maybe the problem is that Cloudflare does not like anything but the AppleWebKit rendering engine, and they have a way to test for it directly. With Safari or a chromium browser, I do not have to check the verify box to get the page. It loads immediately.bobobo wrote: ↑2023-06-07, 16:52Since the last time I posted here, I did notice a difference on the challenge page.

Re: access with cloudflare
The same thing occurs with Pale Moon. You don't have to check anything, it proceeds automatically.

Re: access with cloudflare
Now it works. I'm using this useragent:
UAs with Firefox included (like this one)Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10; Win64; x64; rv:6.0) Goanna/20230123 PaleMoon/32.0.0
Is getting cpu-heavy checks on all websites i checked. But they works as well.Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64; rv:102.0) Gecko/20100101 Goanna/5.2 Firefox/102.0 PaleMoon/31.4.2
Re: access with cloudflare
I couldn't find where the problem was exactly, but apparently I broke something while trying to troubleshoot the cloudflare issue that persisted in my profile. Restoring my Pale Moon profile from a few days ago fixed it like every one else.
It sounds like we can close this issue.
