These match the peaks in the charts I see in the Cloudflare dashboards.
It seems that there is a peak of visits of these bots every few hours (even if they are there permanently), but I don't know if Cloudflare can see these are a real attack (maybe it will just see that as a peak of visitors), we'll see. In the worse case, I can enable something to force visitors to pass a captcha.
I'll enable the filtering later today.

Strange. Now that the bad bots seem more or less filtered, I wonder what caused this. We'll see how it evolves in the next days.
At least it seems to globally work better.

I'm guessing that I don't need to point out the obvious that the site went down about 15 minutes ago. It wouldn't even allow me to start the bot-block, before it timed out.

As the bad bots tend to change randomly their identifier (outside the list I made before), I enabled captcha for everyone except known bots, that should help with the bots not detected as bots. In the last hour it seems there were lots of issues, I suppose too much traffic, I'll analyze the logs later.
For real humans that captcha should not be an issue, just a checkbox once a day added by Cloudflare.

When I am trying to upload pictures from a remote address, I am getting errors. More specifically, I am trying to merge pages and when I copy the image address and enter that, it is

Warning: file_get_contents(https://imcdb.org/i002123302.jpg?u=1786814326): Failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden in /var/www/imcdb/upload-utils.php on line 228

I'm can save the pic to my computer and then upload it. That works.

Indeed, I have to whitelist the server itself so it is not blocked by cloudflare to get its own pic :grin:

edit: it should work now

That Cloudflare shell work like charm. Prior implementing to the shell, I usually get bottom and both sides 'invisible' ads that I had to refresh <F5> to clear out before going on. Now, I don't see it anymore. The tradeoff on this shell, there a slight delay on clicking to the next session and/or tabbing the link at that site that I could live :smile:

I was getting them too occasionally. Not often, but every now and then.

Okay, I have surfed that site at home without delay. I think it has to do with my company's network interface between my desktop to the outside world at the other day :tongue:

What do you mean exactly by that?
In case you are using the site without being logged in, there is a 0.5 delay added when loading a page. This was added when we had issues with bots not detected as bots, maybe I should remove it.
But it does not affect users who are logged in.
