Cloudflare is relatively new. DDoS attacks on FT, unfortunately, are not.
As I understand it, a DDoS attack can involve thousands of calls on the website, and many addresses. The intercept check prided by Cloudflare may be an occasional minor pita, but the option is a DDoS attack that works - meaning FT is down and unavailable.
