"Unlock Cloudflare challenges"

Solved

Hello,

all of a sudden, on several websites, I get this message:
"Unlock challenges.cloudflare.com to continue."

I understand that it's an equivalent of captchas, but how can I get rid of it?

Thank you

Best regards

    Hello,

    You will have to be patient, it's coming from their own servers.

    Info Alert

    Massive Internet outage: an incident at Cloudflare has brought part of the global web to a standstill

    Raphaël Raffray

    Today at 1:16 PM

    Many sites are affected

    The American company occupies a unique position today, its protection services being used by nearly 20% of the web. X (formerly Twitter), OpenAI, ChatGPT, Claude AI, as well as many news sites are among the platforms paralyzed, all directly or indirectly dependent on Cloudflare's infrastructure.

      As far as Chat GPT is concerned, it works on my smartphone but not on my computer.

    Hello,

    There's nothing to be done: the outage is due to Cloudflare. We just have to wait for the service to be restored, which seems to be on the right track.

    See our article: https://www.commentcamarche.net/applis-sites/36243-panne-d-internet-mondiale-le-service-cloudflare-est-en-cause/

    Have a nice day anyway!

    Hello,

    The sites in question use a Cloudflare protection script.

    If for some reason something blocks this script (for example, a browser extension or a more or less intrusive third-party "security" software), the script is not authorized, and the site does not display.

    On the contrary, the request does not exist if all scripts are allowed or if the relevant ones, those from Cloudflare, the same for all sites, are excluded in the script manager.

    For anyone stuck on gpt or perplexity, check out lumo from proton, it works great and it's private.

      Hello,

      As always in such cases, we are preparing for an avalanche of cross-posting and "me too" messages. That said, the messages fall into two categories.

      The message "Unlock..." shows that the Cloudflare server has been reached but refuses to respond because it has not been authorized. The screenshot from Pistouri, on the other hand, shows that it is not reached at all, indicating in this context a partial or intermittent outage.

    Does anyone also have this issue when trying to connect to the "Yellow Pages" app? I can access the app, but when I try to log in, it says "To help us combat certain cyber attacks, please complete the following 'challenge.' Unlock challenges.cloudflare.com to continue"...

      There is a worldwide outage of Cloudflare, so the user can't do anything; it's the host that has a problem!
