Forum unusable from phone now

[Euphyllia098]

The forum had become almost unusable from my phone. I get this 9 out of 10 times when I try to look at anything. It's been doing this on and off for a few weeks but starting today I'm getting it almost every time I try to look at anything.

The forum had become almost unusable from my phone. I get this 9 out of 10 times when I try to look at anything. It's been doing this on and off for a few weeks but starting today I'm getting it almost every time I try to look at anything.

I was getting this while on my phone clicking search links from google last night, but when I went to my bookmark, I could access the site fine, and can search fine within the site, so assumed it was something to do with the sites current bot blocking strategy right now.



I can also access fine from within the app.

I'll add that I frequent 3 other forums, and I have zero, I mean zero issue, so this is something exclusive to r2r. No issues with any other sites either

R2R had to implement some bot blocking protocols in the last week or so and this is an unintended consequence of that

I believe the new servers are due any day and should help with the all the bots slamming the site

I'll tag the #MODS on this one

The bots must be in full force tonight. I can’t even do anything currently. Just getting to this page was a struggle

We recently went through this exercise on another forum. It wasn't fun let me tell you.

I'm writing some custom rules into cloudflare now. Hoping to fix some of these false positives.

Let me know if the errors have stopped as of NOW! :)

I have not been blocked since you made your changes. I do often get verify if your human, but that's better as I can still view the forum.

How we looking as of today!?

I haven’t had one this morning as of yet. Last night it was every single time I clicked the home page and then multiple refreshes so the code may be working

@Tahoe61 how's your issue going?

 

[Tahoe61]

@revhtree I have not been active today. I will attempt to repeat the steps tomorrow that initiated the block.

I would always get that message if I had my Surfshark VPN turned on. Right now it is good.

Any update?
