No, Cloudfare is about protecting this site from malicious DDOS attacks, a job it does well....
This much annoing "tech" is not far from the Google's captha, it's stuck very often and agressively stop from reading your exсellent forum.
At least, "Cloudflare" is impossible buggy on Firefox and well encrypted DNS....
I use Firefox and do not even see Cloudfare at all. But then I don't hide behind a VPN....
@Bree
My connections are free from intrusions. No equal issues on other known / respectable forums.
On tenforums this Cloudflare nonsence is set in the most agressive way and really stops from reading / see pages.
Very often it's stuck, never ending 3 dots • • •. It's terrible when you rapidly want read some materials and can't.
I'm just tired from this a long time ago, in fact.

If you mean spying on people and collecting logs, then yes, it does...

Anyway I think so powerful "independent web site and has not been authorized, sponsored, or otherwise approved..." must have more trusted techs inside then proprietary IT solutions.
So you have my feedback about operability. And you have my own opinion.
I wish to a whole community only best things. Sorry if my voice was too sharp. Good luck.
I'm not using a VPN and I have had all sorts of issues with Cloudflare for the past month or more only with this site.
The weirdest part of it all is that it will run better with a VPN enabled. I don't want to use a VPN and I don't understand why only a few of us have issues and worst, no one can say how to fix it.
It's a dynamic situation. Your WAN side IP address could be causing challenge issues if it is grey/blocklisted because of previous use by bad actors - a clean VPN WAN IP would reduce/stop that.I'm not using a VPN and I have had all sorts of issues with Cloudflare for the past month or more only with this site.

A decent ISP/web/email/VPS host will resolve the root issue and get their WAN IP addresses delisted promptly - it should be part of any assessment when choosing one. Read the reviews, search the user forums for issues...
Also depending on the current state of (D)DoS attacks et al 'in the wild' then the websites that have CF style protection will mean that the trigger threshold varies in sensitivity.
VPN's aren't immune, plenty of bad actors deliberately use VPN's and spoofed MAC addresses to hide their geographical IP and client device MAC tracks.
TOR has major issues there, I often get challenges when going via TOR, and it has suffered admin privilege exploits on third party server nodes whereby the server gets hacked and turned into a bot.
Educate yourself about WAN IP addresses and how they get abused..ip address blocklisting - Google Search
Hi Infrasonic,
I had already checked and my IP is not on any blacklist from IP Address Blacklist Check and What To Know - WhatIsMyIP.com(R).
I simply only get issues with this site and it's been like this for about 3 weeks.
Ok I checked on another blacklist site.
This is what one of them mentions
dnsbl.spfbl.net This IP has been flagged because it is dynamic or by suspect to be domestic use only.
If you are running an email service on this IP, ask ISP to change the rDNS.
The removal of this IP from this blacklist depends on change of rDNS to match the FQDN of the mail server.
