  • superfx64 Kyle Wade (@superfx64) reported

    @VikeMK @OpenAI @amazon Damnnn wtf. How do you host the images? If you switch to Cloudflare R2 there’s no egress fees I think

  • XUknown53328 xxyyxx uknown (@XUknown53328) reported

    Cloudflare blocks or challenges bad requests from hitting my website. #cloudflare

  • mesmerlord mesmer (@mesmerlord) reported

    forgot to pay it for 5 days and all my R2 **** is just unaccessible so I had to make a hacky workaround to another cloudflare account through a cloudflare worker that checks 2 r2 bucket cause apparently they can disable access on a sunday but support only comes back on monday 🤡

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    Hey, I get the frustration with those CAPTCHAs popping up constantly. X uses them to keep bots and spam at bay, likely through Cloudflare's security system, which is crucial for protecting the platform. But I hear you—repeating them can be a hassle, and they’re not always accessible or effective against clever bots. There’s no clear number on how many times you’ll need to verify; it depends on security triggers like suspicious activity. Alternatives like behavioral analysis could ease the burden, but X seems to lean hard on CAPTCHAs for now. I’d suggest checking X’s help center or contacting support for specific issues. As for asking Elon, I’ll pass, but I bet he’d say it’s all about keeping X real!

    @virattt @Cloudflare @findatasets U support Options data?

    I’ll yield that temporary weakness in impressions, however paid clicks were up- isn’t that what really matters? My point around the $NET commentary was that they can’t speak to how traffic is/isnt changing advertising. Its simply not their line of business. Btw, Cloudflare competes with Wiz We should also consider Safari is just one app. Most people use Chrome. If searches were down on safari, but up on chrome, both Sundar and Ive’s statements can be true. Additionally, theres other ways that Google drives traffic to the web- Reviews, Maps, Gmail, and Youtube links in Descriptions, to name a few. Dont forget, Alphabet also has the OS for 3.3B smart phones. Also consider the source and the timing of when it was said. Theres tons of litigation surrounding this with the DOJ suit, and Apple looking to make moves to other providers. We should take everything Apple says about Google with a giant pinch of salt. Lots of movement happening with Perplexity and the like. Would love to hear more examples of where you think mgmt is burying the lead, I’m not here to be blind to facts. 🤙

    @richard_tabor @sufiabanu91 She probably needs to route CloudFlare SSL to her host. 99% of users use this plugin for this. A simple header in WP-config.php can fix this issue.

  • asayeed Asad Sayeed @asayeed@zirk.us (@asayeed) reported

    OK so the problem is user-agent switching without which some web sites are more annoying to use but of course the point of Cloudflare is to force you to endure the irritation.

  • CarloJason4 {🪶}Someone named CJ | Vtuber Fan/Forever Hooman (@CarloJason4) reported

    Last night I helped a Vtuber conquer the debuffs given to her by my country’s “no 1” Internet service provider (Recommended her to download cloudflare to play in a Minecrart server in chat)

  • PhantomOpSec Phantom Security (@PhantomOpSec) reported

    @vxunderground @Cloudflare Proof that even in 2025, cat pics are still breaking the internet but shoutout to @Cloudflare for making sure it didn’t stay broken. Purring through 7.3 Tbps without flinching

  • MorganFeeney Morgan Feeney (@MorganFeeney) reported

    @jonathan_wilke @supastarter Experienced this **** myself, Vercel does some magic to make things work that just fail on Cloudflare.

  • thinkbuildnext David (@thinkbuildnext) reported

    Signal for being able to trust an internet company: public postmortems that don’t sugarcoat or omit @Cloudflare is a good example

  • katwgws kat 💾✨ (@katwgws) reported

    @u_n_l_0_c_k_e_d yeah if you’re on a cell network you get treated like a phone, and no carrier has enough ipv4 addresses to cover those so there’s a ton of backend routing happening. you can work around it w/ a cloudflare tunnel tho & in theory ipv6 should be fine though if it’s native slaac, idk

  • hadikhantech Hadi Khan (@hadikhantech) reported

    Cloudflare should really support python.

  • DefendOpsHQ The DefendOps Diaries (@DefendOpsHQ) reported

    @coinspect We are looking into this now, seems an issue with Cloudflare

  • Verminator_1 Verminator ♦️🛡️🍳⚡ (✸,✸).ink (@Verminator_1) reported

    @absurdfounder @Cloudflare Didn't expect cloudflare to have such bad grammar! btw you made the same error (and a couple more) on wondersites website if you want to fix it:P

  • grok Grok (@grok) reported

    Spoofing SNI to access Cloudflare-hosted domains involves manipulating the TLS handshake to specify a blocked domain while connecting to a Cloudflare IP. This can bypass DNS or IP-based blocks if the network doesn't inspect SNI. Cloudflare routes requests based on SNI, so spoofing it tricks the server into serving the target domain's content. However, deep packet inspection or strict SNI checks can block this. The method requires tools like OpenSSL or curl to set custom SNI and Host headers. While effective for bypassing censorship, it raises security concerns, as it could access malicious sites. Encrypted SNI may limit this in the future, but adoption is currently limited.

  • jonathangrahl Jonathan Grahl (@jonathangrahl) reported

    @emilwidlund Took a whole year just to re-implement a pathtracer based on a person's from Embark, an Kubernetes-ish orchestrator, a LB similar to Cloudflare Pingora and a bunch of other stuff. Would've never started Molnett if that wasn't the case!

  • yawnxyz Jan 🥱 (@yawnxyz) reported

    @janwilmake Crazy the team at cloudflare never even considered this use case

  • MichaelSmolkin Michael (@MichaelSmolkin) reported

    A better simple example is when I migrated my site off of BootstrapStudio (they offered a free plan to GitHub education students and I was afraid to spend money) and onto my own server. Dealing with Cloudflare and DigitalOcean fix it was a headache, but at least the site works!

  • AdityaTripathiD Aditya Tripathi (@AdityaTripathiD) reported

    @dok2001 @Cloudflare I don't know what the interview process is like, but I'll likely never clear technical rounds. Cloudflare is a dream company for sure though!

  • gdbuildsgd Goksu (@gdbuildsgd) reported

    @thesecara i'd die for namecheap, but was not satisfied with their customer support recently. also gonna need cloudflare storage for this one, so the switch makes sense.

  • Lermatroid Liam Murray (@Lermatroid) reported

    It would be awesome if you could use @Cloudflare Hyperdrive outside of workers Could bassically give any DB a http driver for any service 👀

  • MarsMiner2024 MarsMiner (@MarsMiner2024) reported

    **** @Cloudflare . Slowing down every links I click. Go figure lame *** company.

  • erfanilyas Erfan Ilyas (@erfanilyas) reported

    @philsola_123 @richard_tabor @sufiabanu91 if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO'], ' !== false) { $_SERVER['HTTPS'] = 'on'; } This will fix the infinite redirect issue when behind CloudFlare Proxy.

  • ziademarcus ᛗᚨᚱᚴᚢᛋ (@ziademarcus) reported

    The backend for this is already fully e2e tested for the web app I made, so this app is all about the UI and then the network layer hooking it up to the Cloudflare Worker, and an in-app payment layer using Apple's StoreKit cause I can't use the same Stripe payments I did on web

  • szarka BIP 172 Maximalist (@szarka) reported

    Dear @Cloudflare: Your CAPTCHA is too dumb to deal with @Zotero requesting a PDF on @sciencedirect, presumably because of differing user agents? Please fix.

  • SimpleCove SimpleCove (@SimpleCove) reported

    Stopping the bad guys with Cloudflare: 3,593 malicious requests blocked or challenged in the last month #cloudflare

  • terrarix7 Terra (@terrarix7) reported

    @senbodev @tanmay_singewar woah woah woah, cloudflare at all does not have good developer experience They are improving with opennext and stuff, but I had my stuff there for weeks, and I faced many issues.

  • GregBernhardt4 Greg Bernhardt 🐍🌊 (@GregBernhardt4) reported

    @cyberandy @eliasdabbas Cloudflare has the same markdown share or they offer a service to convert to markdown?
