Cloudflare is a widely used service that provides web security, DDoS protection, and performance optimization for websites.

Sometimes, visitors to these sites find themselves temporarily blocked due to suspected malicious activity or submission of certain content.

This action is part of Cloudflare’s strategy to protect its customers’ websites from various cyber threats.

WHY HAVE I BEEN BLOCKED?

The blocking occurs when Cloudflare's security measures detect unusual or potentially harmful behavior, such as the submission of specific keywords, suspicious SQL commands, or malformed data.

These actions may trigger a block in an attempt to safeguard the website from potential attacks.

WHAT CAN I DO TO RESOLVE THIS?

If you find yourself blocked, it is advisable not to repeatedly try accessing the site, as this behavior could confirm the suspicion of automated activity.

Instead, you can reach out to the site owner via email and provide them with details about what you were doing when you encountered the block.

This information includes the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of the page.

The site owner may then take appropriate actions to investigate the issue and resolve it if necessary.

It is also a good practice to review your internet activities for any potential mistakes or suspicious behavior that might have triggered the security measure.
