It can happen on both Windows and Mac, with both Chrome/Firefox. I've seen it happen in Western Europe just fine. No Tor.

You don't need to have some "exotic" setup to see this.

Do you get a Cloudflare Ray ID on the page when you’re being asked? You can send that to the website admin and ask them to check for you.

Forgive the dumb question, but what can a friendly website admin do with the Ray ID you send them, that can help you as a user, assuming they put Cloudflare in the middle as a CAPTCHA in the first place for a reason unrelated to you, and still want/need it there?

They can look up why you were blocked, your ISP, your local POP, the page you were requesting and if it was because of a firewall rule they’ll see that too. Basically everything unique about your request.

So if they’re accidentally blocking people because a firewall rule is misconfigured you’ll let them know.

In a previous job we used Cloudflare and found some of our remote workers were triggering a SQL injection on the website by updating our WordPress blog.

Linux/Qutebrowser, had to use firefox to access the site. Some sites won't work even in firefox unless I use private window.

What's your user agent string on Qutebrowser?
