Cloudflare, a leading provider of web security services, employs various protection mechanisms to safeguard websites from malicious activities.

These measures can sometimes result in legitimate users being temporarily or permanently blocked.

This article provides insights into why such blocks occur and how they can be resolved.

WHY HAVE I BEEN BLOCKED?

Cloudflare implements security solutions to protect its clients' websites against online threats.

Actions that could trigger a block include submitting specific keywords, executing SQL commands, or providing malformed data.

These actions are often flagged as potential security risks by the system.

WHAT CAN I DO TO RESOLVE THIS?

If you encounter a Cloudflare security block, several steps can be taken to address the issue:
- Contact the site owner directly via email.

It is essential to inform them about being blocked and describe what led to the block, such as encountering an error message or being redirected to a CAPTCHA page.

- Provide the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of the blocking page for added context.

In most cases, site owners can remotely manage their website's security settings through their Cloudflare dashboard.

If they determine that the block was issued in error or is no longer necessary, they can usually lift it swiftly without requiring your intervention beyond reaching out to them.
