A guide on why users are blocked by Cloudflare and how to resolve the issue.
Cloudflare, a popular web security service, occasionally blocks visitors from accessing websites protected by its services.
This can occur due to various triggers, including submitting specific words or phrases that may be flagged as malicious, attempting to execute SQL commands, or providing malformed data.
When encountering the 'Attention Required' page on a Cloudflare-protected site, users should first identify what action led to being blocked.
Key details to include in an appeal are the exact circumstances surrounding the block and the Cloudflare Ray ID, visible at the bottom of the page.
This information can be used by website owners or their technical support to investigate the issue and potentially lift the block.
