It's gotten worse for me. Amusingly, the only time where I don't get blocked is when I use my company's VPN (Germany, set to Germany). I don't have a habit of using personal VPNs and the one included in my anti virus doesn't work. When I log on from my home in Germany or in France (there every couple weeks), with my mobile networks (Germany and France), there is a good chance the Cloudflare just doesn't verify and I am stuck in the endless loop as mentioned above.

There are some other French websites that use Cloudflare but none are anywhere near as aggressive in locking me out.

I guess Flyertalk doesn't want anyone but Americans and Brits using it, which is fine I guess, I can go elsewhere if I'm really a malicious bot
