Aay. @BloFin_Official Why do I get a temporarily ban from @Cloudflare for too many requests wtf?! Have to use a VPN now (which I wasn't before) otherwise I cannot access MY account.

bored knees (@boredknees) reported@punekarnews Fix your cloudflare settings. The site blocks normal users too.

Ben Hocking (@bmwhocking) reported@rustie5555 There are a lot of round robin API calls for content. Works fine if you are close to their US data-centre. Sucks for us. They are using Cloudflare, I don’t believe they are processing at Cloudflare’s edge, just caching content. They need better & faster timeline building.

lasan (@las_nish) reportedComparisons of Free Trial Abuse Prevention Services If you're running a SaaS with a free trial or focusing on PLG, authentication and abuse prevention are not the same problem. - WorkOS: If you're already using WorkOS, WorkOS Radar is probably the first thing I'd look at. For a WorkOS stack, WorkOS AuthKit + Radar makes the most sense. You don't need to bolt another authentication system onto your app just to get abuse signals. - Auth0, Supabase Auth, Better Auth: These are primarily identity/authentication platforms. Integrating only these can't prevent free trial abuse. - Custom: Like the previous options, you need a custom way to prevent free trial abuse. Most free trial abuse methods involve disposable emails, Google dot variations, Google/Gmail domain variations, and plus addressing. That's why even when you block bots via Cloudflare Turnstile or CAPTCHA, you can still get these abusers. The industry standards: - Block free trial abuse using lists hosted on GitHub: This is a pain in the ***. If you don't want to pay money, you can use a service that offers a generous free tier. - WorkOS Radar: This is mainly used at the enterprise level. They focus more on WorkOS-related integrations rather than integrations with other providers. - ZeroBounce, NeverBounce, MillionVerifier, DeBounce: These are mainly used to clean/validate emails. There are 100s of alternatives, and most are similar with minor differences. They all have disposable email checking APIs. - UserCheck: This is also an email validation API, but they focus on blocking fake email addresses. It's better than a basic email verification API. - Autheona: This is in the same category as WorkOS Radar and UserCheck, but with more features. It also focuses on fake user detection and is growing with a real user base. Now, pricing: - WorkOS Radar: First 1,000 checks free, then $100 per 50 checks. No application-specific logic changes. Easy to integrate and manage. - ZeroBounce: 100 free validations in the free tier, then pay-as-you-go, starting at 2,000 for $39, and so on. - NeverBounce: No free trial or use case, $8 per 1,000 checks. - UserCheck: 1,000 API requests per month in the free plan. The rule-based engine is not included in the free plan, and you can get up to 1 request per second. - Autheona: 3,000 checks per month, with the rule-based policy engine included. Standard API request rate limitations apply, similar to paid plans. Now, use cases: - WorkOS Radar: Block disposable emails, plus addressing, and Google dot variations. - ZeroBounce, NeverBounce, etc.: Block disposable emails. - UserCheck: Block disposable emails, plus addressing, and Google dot variations; detect public emails; email suggestions; syntax validation; role detection. - Autheona: Everything included in UserCheck, plus business/free/government email identification, deliverability checks, fraud patterns, punycode and mixed-script checks, VPN detection, and bot detection (not necessary if you already use CAPTCHA, Cloudflare, etc.). Final decision from me: - Use WorkOS Radar if you're already in the WorkOS ecosystem. It's harder to integrate with other auth providers. - Use ZeroBounce-like APIs if you need basic disposable email checks. They're not as good if you need a better free tier. - Use UserCheck if you only need email-related validation and want to stay within the free plan. - Use Autheona if you need the most generous free tier available with a custom policy engine. All services take a maximum of a few hours to integrate and test. Both UserCheck and Autheona have a similar approach: integrate once and never touch the code again.

Anthony Lambert (@AnthonyTBM) reported@jb_ma @sb_chadi Yes, but I've never had CloudFlare request a terminal command sequence. I think most people will be immediately on guard if that occurred after clicking their human status?

Daniel Zahoor (@DanielZahoor) reportedSet your router DNS to 1.1.1.2 and 1.0.0.2 to block malicious sites across your Wi-Fi. These free Cloudflare addresses silently block scams and phishing on every device. You get network-wide protection with zero software to install or manage.

COLLINSEO (@alexcollinseo) reportedBreaking news! Your site might start blocking AIs from September 15th.. And if you block them, you won't show up in AI answers. The good thing? It takes a sec to unblock! This setting is inside Cloudflare. You might not even know your website uses Cloudflare because it works in the background as a CDN, helping your website load faster. If you check your website using the tools I mention, you can find out whether Cloudflare is being used on your site. Cloudflare seems to have taken this step because of how AI companies are crawling websites, and honestly, I don't completely disagree with the reason behind it. But having AI crawlers automatically blocked from September 15 could be a problem if you want your business to appear in AI answers. The setting is inside Security Settings. Look for the AI crawler control and make sure it is set to allow rather than block. This is especially important if AI visibility is part of your strategy. With one of my clients, we went from zero to around 500 visitors from AI traffic in two months. And what I did was exactly what I explained in the video. If your AI crawlers are blocked, you're potentially closing the door on that traffic before it even has a chance to reach you. #SEO #DigitalMarketing 👇🏼 Comment VIDEO for the FULL VIDEO BREAKDOWN

Henry C | DevSecOps (@_theCyberDoctor) reported4/ The part I'm proudest of isn't the happy path. It's what happens when the web fights back. CrunchBase threw a Cloudflare captcha → agent refused to bypass it, wrote down why, moved on. LinkedIn threw a sign-in popup → agent closed it and read what was visible. Chrome crashed → agent reloaded.

Austin (@IamAroke) reported@nickstewart_ Cloudflare went down because of a regex. That's not a joke, that actually happened.

Security Weekly Podcast Network (@SecWeekly) reportedThat CAPTCHA may not be protecting you. A click-fix attack can use a fake Cloudflare CAPTCHA to convince users to open PowerShell or Terminal and paste a command themselves. Once the command runs—especially with administrator privileges—the attack chain can begin. What should organizations block before social engineering gets a user to execute the attack for them? #Cybersecurity #PowerShell #SocialEngineering

Carlo GG (@CarloDotGG) reported@SimonHoiberg Easy fix Step 1: Use Cloudflare AI Gateway to build your own custom Openrouter for your business, then select whichever provider you'd like, or even attach custom providers like BaseTen, FAL .... Step 2: set billing limits per user if needed.

SignalForge AI (@SignalForge_AI) reportedCloudflare 503 killed my EA silently. Orders never reached MT5. Fix: 30-min news filter pause + retry queue. Trade-off: misses NFP entries, but zero ghost orders. How many silent failures did your bridge survive before you added the retry loop?

JP (@jpshrodinger) reportedmy site had a react hydration bug for WEEKS checked my code 100 times. rewrote providers. nothing it was cloudflare. it rewrites email addresses in your HTML to "protect" them and breaks react silently the bug was never in my house

David Oks (@davideoks) reported@inoutremer @CharlieTyson1 this type of thing is solved by hosting on e.g. Cloudflare. pieces going modestly viral like Wilson's or Oyler's did shouldn't crash a modern web site! presumably they just have terrible IT. (but a quite wonderfully designed website IMO)

Andy Knowles (@andykn101) reported@SportingNest @Cloudflare It's absolutely a scam. If you don't know what those instructions do listen to those who. If you're not clicking on the ads in your search results you've probably already got malware poisoning your search results. Get help.

McCallum (@BK_McCallum) reported@imjeremytho @georgeregnery @stelzner_n1150 I 100% agree that the claim maker bears the burden. And I 100% stand by what I said: Your own laziness is the reason you're in this predicament. "Netcraft’s monthly survey shows the web adding roughly 550k–640k net new sites per day. Total hostnames sit around 1.43–1.47 billion. Verisign’s latest Domain Name Industry Brief puts registered domains at 401.6 million, up 8.1% year-over-year. Cloudflare Radar recorded 19% global traffic growth in 2025. Telegeography and ITU numbers show international bandwidth and fixed-network traffic still compounding in the low-to-mid 20s percent range even before you count extra AI crawlers. IDC DataSphere (via Statista) has annual data created at 181 ZB in 2025 and 221 ZB projected for 2026. Consumer cloud storage is a $15B market growing ~17% CAGR; photos alone are 1.72 trillion a year and most of them go to the cloud."

Michael Bruno (@brubarian) reported@RockyCapital18 @TMTLongShort Yes - but it's more of a framework because some rx/diligence are on the private side. But big blue arrow: 1. What are the top three pieces of information that I want to have? 2. What role/function would use this data to solve their own problem? e.g., A DoW analyst wants to know where to buy widgets for a Humvee; how would he try to find the answer? Or a gas station owner wants to know how many Poland Spring bottles to order based on expected highway traffic because of the Sturgis motorcycle rally. 3. Which US institutions/think tanks/policy/others have the raw data? (too many to list) 4. Download CSVs, databases, etc. to desktop to isolate it, Claude from hallucinating or pulling information from the internet. (You may have to get a cloudflare/suprabase/*** to help facilitate accelerated use.) 5. Instruct Claude to clean the data sets (this used to be what data scientists spent most of their time on; NaN, void answers, separating street addresses from state, etc.) 6. In clear, concise, simple language, ask Claude to take XYZ categories of data and produce a snapshot to serve a "product manager at company XYZ" or a "credit risk manager at Bank ABC", etc. 7. Adjust and iterate. Force Claude to produce "Tufte" data visualizations. If Claude is left to run linear/logistic regressions, it becomes a science project instead of a problem-solving or illuminating exercise. 8. Force Claude to explore. e.g., take an analogy, "You are a surgeon; this data set is akin to human nervous system, if you were performing surgery, which node, if removed would destroy the utility of the system"? Random questions like this. Analogically map it in unique ways. Claude RL underbelly does nicely here. And as a guiding principle, I'd suggest focusing on being creative. The best definition I've seen is from Bruner: "Creativity is a way of figuring out what you already know in order to go beyond what you currently think."
