Cloudflare?

I use Google Chrome. I get a small delay once in a while when I want to access the Gallery.
 
Cloudfare is causing a Denial of Service on this site, as of 8:22 AM CDT 4/19/2020. I am trying to post in the Summaron 35/2 Replica thread. When clicking "Go Advanced" I got a Cloudflare error screen. RFF just hangs up when I click the "Post Quick Reply" button (after giving up on "Go Advanced").

Edit to add: Closed that tab and opened the site in another tab, and was able to "Go Advanced", but it took over a minute to get to the Advanced page.

Cloudflare is working to prevent DOS attacks, not cause them.

I know that, but the fact is, something is causing a long delay when pressing the buttons on the message pages. Since I got a Cloudflare error page, I assumed they were the last ones to touch the internet traffic with RFF, so I blamed them.

In defense of Cloudflare, if this stuff were easy, anybody could do it.

Trying to "Submit Reply" on this message, I get "Error 522 Ray ID: 5868c0294cd0d26a • 2020-04-19 18:40:22 UTC
Connection timed out". Rangefinder Host Error.

Will try again.
 
I wanted to post a couple of ads in the classified section, but since I currently can't see any thumbnails, I'm hesitating posting my ads.
 
Site is really slow. Mostly crashing for me w Cloudflare 502 errors.
Don't have any issues on any other site I visit.

Lately, by far the most slow and troublesome site of any forum i visit
appropriate emoticon: :bang::bang::bang:
 
Really slow and crashing for me, too. 520 errors say my browser and Cloudfare are fine. It shows the error with the host/RFF.

I'm using Firefox, which I switched to when I joined RFF, as the site didn't work well with Internet Explorer at that time.

Thanks for all your efforts to upgrade and root out the problems, Stephen.

PS. This is my second attempt to post. Last time it locked up. Then I couldn't get back into the site.
 
Just checked in today, Firefox. Cloudflare screen loaded regarding DDOS protection, then the site loaded. All else seems fine.
 
Using Chrome, the site won't load for a good 10 seconds while I see this:

"Checking your browser before accessing rangefinderforum.com"
DDoS protection by Cloudflare
Ray ID: 586b00cab981ea62

No other issues for me on any other website.
When it finally loads, no classified photos are showing either.

I'm getting this same error message on Firefox now, and the photos at the top of the home page don't load.

I'm getting swifter loading of screens now than I was getting at the time of my last post, however.
