I cannot log into websites that use CloudFlare as their CDN. ChatGPT gave me a laundry list of things to check, and after exhausting that list, I decided that the great developers at Mozilla might be able to steer me in the right direction. Below is what ChatGPT suggested:
I asked:
> When trying to log into any resource that uses the CloudFlare CDN I get the following response: > > Icon for givewp.comgivewp.com > > Verify you are human by completing the action below. > givewp.com needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding. > Ray ID: 90067ba77ed70ff1 > Performance & security by Cloudflare > > After checking if I am human or not, the login proc fails with no error message and then just presents the captcha again. > > This only occurs when I attempt to login to resources that use the CloudFlare CDN. > > Is this a known issue with CloudFlare. If it is, is there a known solution to the issue?
ChatGPT replied:
> Experiencing a recurring CAPTCHA verification loop when attempting to access websites utilizing Cloudflare's security services is a known issue that can arise due to various factors. To address this problem, consider the following steps: > > Disable Browser Extensions: Certain browser extensions, particularly those related to privacy, security, or ad-blocking, may interfere with Cloudflare's verification process. Temporarily disable these extensions to determine if they are the cause. > > For Firefox: > Click on the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner. > Select "Add-ons and themes". > Disable the relevant extensions. > > Clear Browser Cache and Cookies: Accumulated cache and cookies can sometimes lead to verification issues. Clearing them may resolve the problem. > > For Firefox: > Click on the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner. > Select "Settings" > "Privacy & Security". > Scroll to "Cookies and Site Data" and click "Clear Data". > > Update Your Browser: Ensure that your browser is up to date, as outdated versions may have compatibility issues with certain security features. > > For Firefox: > Click on the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner. > Select "Help" > "About Firefox". > Firefox will check for updates and install them automatically. > > Check Browser Settings: Ensure that JavaScript is enabled and that your browser is configured to accept cookies, as disabling these can impede the verification process. > > For Firefox: > Click on the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner. > Select "Settings" > "Privacy & Security". > Ensure that "Enhanced Tracking Protection" is set to "Standard" and that cookies are enabled. > > Try Incognito or Private Browsing Mode: Accessing the website in incognito mode can help determine if the issue is related to browser settings or extensions, as this mode typically runs without extensions and uses default settings. > > For Firefox: > Click on the three horizontal lines in the top-right corner. > Select "New Private Window". > > Avoid Using VPNs or Proxies: Some VPNs or proxy servers can trigger security challenges. If you're using one, try disconnecting it to see if the issue persists. > > Check Your IP Address: Occasionally, certain IP addresses may be flagged by security systems. Restarting your router can assign a new IP address, potentially resolving the issue. > > Contact Website Support: If the problem continues, consider reaching out to the website's support team for further assistance. > > Implementing these steps should help resolve the CAPTCHA loop issue you're encountering. If the problem persists, it may be indicative of a more complex issue requiring further investigation.
