worgeordie Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 While signing into ThaiVisa today ,up popped a page from Cloudflare,asking if i am a robot, then asking to click pictures of cars,shopfronts etc, it has also just started on some other sites i have been sighing into. is this malware or kosher ,I know Cloudflare is a security company, but has ThaiVisa paid them for their services or is it been done without their consent.? regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxpower Posted November 9, 2017 Share Posted November 9, 2017 One of many reasons -> You are using a VPN and the IP has been associated with strange activity or the IP provided by your ISP has strange activity in its history. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes well with your 'strange activity' suggestion. CloudFlare also offers CDN (Content Delivery) and Load Balancing and DDOS protection. The undocumented 'Gateway Unavailable' service is a new one. Keeps me from spamming the site with wordy responses, apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just read a newsletter from Adguard the adblocking company, and it says something like ,Cloudflare might be blocking access to sites that run crypto mining scripts ,all a bit complicated to me, but if i use a VPN i don't get the captcha pages. regards worgeordie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I gave this to the attention of the forum techs. Not sure what the reason is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUT As you write that it appears for other sites also I join the opinion that it is about your IP address considered "suspicious". I sometimes get such stuff even with my normal Thai IP address (ToT) and when using certain VPN locations. Of course it would not be nice if Cloudfare/Thaivisa would consider normal Thai IP addresses as "suspicious". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argus Tuft Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I get it also - not just for Thai Visa, but some other sites I visit. I move around a lot, I put it down to different IP addresses being used when I travel, but I may be wrong. Looking forward to hear if the TV boffins or Khun BENQ come back with something, but I don't see it as a big issue For info, I have only been getting it in the past month. Thought it could be due to hosting on the site side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes well with your 'strange activity' suggestion. 3BB seems to have done something along these lines recently that is causing quite a lot of Cloudflare problems and errors, and demands for "I am human" verification. I'm getting them sometimes on all sorts of sites, and even occasionally on Google. Also "bad gateway" errors for the same reason. But it comes and goes.
