Explaining why users may be temporarily blocked by Cloudflare's security measures.
Cloudflare, a widely used service to secure websites and APIs from DDoS attacks and other threats, sometimes blocks visitors for suspected malicious activities.
If you encounter a 'Your access to this page was blocked' message on a website using Cloudflare, it is likely due to the site's security measures detecting unusual traffic patterns or specific inputs that may be indicative of an attack or potential harm to the site.
The blocking mechanism serves as a first line of defense.
Actions such as submitting certain keywords, executing SQL commands, or providing malformed data can trigger this response.
Cloudflare aims to protect websites from common cyber threats without requiring site owners to have technical expertise in security configurations.
If you are unable to access the content and believe the block was in error, you can contact the site owner directly.
Providing them with details about your actions leading up to the block along with the 'Cloudflare Ray ID,' a unique identifier for the request shown at the bottom of the page, might facilitate resolving the issue.
