Same issue as above users, both on Brave and Chrome, mobile, home network, public wifi, doesn't matter. Extremely annoying.

For me it is not only the inactivity of 10 min which triggers the cloudfare pop up.
I can also read a trip report and like the posts and after 10 min I get an error message. In order to reset I need to reload the page and then I must again confirm the box...
I would also appreciate a fast solution for this problem.

Same for me on phone Samsung A25 with latest updates. Nil access. Endless cloudflare loop. On phone use to view only. Have never logged in via phone.
Laptop does get access after 1st cloudflare page. If go to another page 50% of the time get cloudflare again.
Is past annoying.

I like to check FlyerTalk for a minute or two many times a day when I need a break from work. The current situation makes that impossible.

Not sure if it’s related but this problem started at about the same time for me: I am no longer able upload images from my Mac (Firefox). It still works fine on Safari on my iPad. Both devices see the Cloudflare popup.

Also very annoyed by the Cloudflare verifications multiple times a day when trying to access the site. Happens irrespective of browser (Firefox / Edge) or location (ZRH, YUL) on my laptop(s). Tedious barrier to continued engagement with the site.

Residential IPs are currently launching DDOS attacks thru so called residential proxy networks from malware in 'smart home' devices. Information sites like FT seem to be a major target for some reason.

Then why am I getting blocked when using 5G mobile data?

There's overemphasis in the posting byoliver2002 regarding bad traffic coming from residential networks. The WSJ article itself describes how bad actors are getting malware onto mobile devices. It would be better described as end user networks rather than residential. In fact you might as well just say it's all networks. The amount of bad traffic out there these days is significant and the geopolitical situation is adding fuel to the fire.

My point was in response to another member saying s/he is using a residential IP which implied that those are innocent in general. ;)

Ok but why do I need to continually verify from the same device and same connection?

... especially when you are logged in and a long standing member.

it's getting weirder and weirder - on the iPhone - cloudflare thinks around 10 seconds - then says "authenticated - redirecting to flyertalk.com" - then the cloudflare page reloads thinks again for 10
seconds and then requests to tick the "I am a human" checkbox.

I am now running on a flow where I get an initial tick box to verify if I have not been active for around 30 minutes, but then no further authentication until I have been inactive again for a while.

Sung to the tune of Oklahoma:

Oh, BOHICA,
With the Cloudflare sweepin’ down the plain
And here they know,
To let one go,
Oh, Bend Over, Here It Comes Again!

I have to check the box about every 10 minutes. So annoying, and degrades the user experience. Posting from my home network in Taiwan. VPN not turned on.
