I use ChatGPT Plus and I'm not able to do log in: challenges.cloudflare, that I never used, say to me to unblock it, but I can't unblock a service that I don't have.
Why not both? Could be anything but I am assuming a cyberattack at this point. Seems like a pretty major outage, most of the sites I have attempted to look at today are down. Except ours and this one. And Google.
Most sites seem to be back online now. https://www.cloudflarestatus.com Monitoring - A fix has been implemented and we believe the incident is now resolved. We are continuing to monitor for errors to ensure all services are back to normal. Nov 18, 2025 - 14:42 UTC Update - We've deployed a change which has restored dashboard services. We are still working to remediate broad application services impact Nov 18, 2025 - 14:34 UTC
The Cloudflare Outage May Be a Security Roadmap https://krebsonsecurity.com/2025/11/the-cloudflare-outage-may-be-a-security-roadmap/
It might have been an attack, but I think it's probably a human error, just like with CrowdStrike. But Cloudflare itself is becoming annoying as hell, I see more and more anti-bot checkups before I can access websites, this needs to be stopped, what a bunch of morons.
Recently I find this quite annoying as well. I hate the waiting time to show that stupid case you must check to verify your human.
The joke is on them, because I've found myself simply not visiting some of those sites at all, I'm not going to wait 5 seconds. So it's costing online shops money, I would advice them to stay away from this stupid Cloudflare protection. First they annoy people with those pointless cookie messages which the EU is planning to fix after 15 years, and now you get these anti-bot checks, these fools are ruining the web.
It's the bots and scam artists that have ruined the web. It would be interesting to know how much these services save web shops in filtering out bots, and if it really pays off. Because, yes, it's annoying to the consumer. I also wonder how accurate they are?
