Strange - I just clicked on the link and got a CloudFlare page, checking my browser for "compatibility" and DDOS, before loading the actual site.

Anyone else getting that?

That's what sometimes happens when HN frontpage DDOSes a webpage that is protected by CloudFlare. It's just checking to see if you're a "legitimate" visitor or an automated bot.

Yes. I get it on some other sites too. It's fine, CloudFlare sets a cookie and doesn't bother you again but it fails to redirect me to the exact url and just loads up the main page.
