Getting stuck in a Cloudflare verification loop
Every time I attempt to do something login related (signing in, signing out, signing up) with any website that uses Cloudflare for DDoS protection I get stuck in a verification loop. It prompts me to check the checkbox saying 'I'm not a robot' and it displays the loading circles, but it prompts me to check it again. This cycle repeats seemingly forever. Wth is up Cloudflare?????
This happens to many websites that I use daily/on a frequent basis (Canva, ChatGPT/OpenAI, Perplexity). Strangely enough, when I tried it on another browser (Google Chrome) I did not have the verification loop. This is a REAL pain as
- The laptop I use is shared between multiple members of my family
- I do stuff that needs privacy
Doing it on chrome will reveal all the s*** I do to my family. And no, it's not like I'm watching p**n on my pc. I use these utilities for business work and I'm concerned it may leak out to my kids.
One reason I suspect it's happening is likely due to my increased cursor speed (I set it to full), but then why isn't it happening on Chrome?
Here are the extensions I have installed:
- AdBlock Plus
- User-Agent Switcher
- Disable Javascript
- Privacy Pass

You can try to wait a bit longer to click the checkbox and continuing.
Cloudflare uses a cookie based challenge and sends a form to the server via GET data appended to the URL. The website creates a cf_clearance cookie when the challenge is resolved and the check finishes properly.
If this challenge page keeps reloading then this means that the script isn't working properly and is not able to create this cf_clearance cookie. This can happen if you block cookies or have an extension that blocks cookies.

Thanks. Another reason I suspected this may be happening was because I had enabled enhanced tracking protection for chat.openai.com- disabled it, lets see how it works
I tried waiting for around 5-10 seconds before clicking it. It did stop happening on ChatGPT but is still happening on canva. Let's see what even is happening...
