Ugh, yeah. Cloudflare too. I hate it. It's like 2/3 of sites I try,

Blah blah needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding.

Then it goes to an enedless reload loop. Or gets stuck.

I went to a site last week that belonged to a human rights organization. It's a ranking of countries by different aspects like economic freedom or w/e, and some articles about their methodolgy. Couldn't load it due to fucking Cloudflare. Cloudflare does not deem me worthy to read about human rights.

Why? Because I try to protect my right to privacy. The irony.
