It only worked once ..... now it's back and I can't get to my favourite site again ........ is there some way of switching off this retched 'cloudfare'?

 

 

thanks heaps

Is anyone aware of this 'cloudflare' thing, and how to get around it? it's not me, but maybe my fav website that is using it - though I as a member wasn't advised of this .... so it's very strange to me .... any advice or information on this please?

I can tell you that Cloudflare is nothing on your computer, it is web based and sits between you and whatever web site it is either protecting, or protecting you from a bad site, and may be something that either the website you are trying to access, your own ISP, or some other server has installed.

 

It also doesn't seem to have a good reputation either from some reports, more about it here :-

I would send a message to the Idolforums administration asking if they know about Cloudflare blocking their site and if there is anything they can do about it.

Thank you Nev, very much appreciated ..... working on trying to find out who has installed it ..... will advise if I find anything - it is very very annoying though
