But it's not like that, friends. The problem is with Cloudflare. The problem is Cloudflare. You don't have to look anywhere else looking for where the problem is.

...

Please, note that Cloudflare has not been prepared with the logic of being present to detect and identify other harmful or dangerous robots automatically. No. Nothing of that. The machine has been arranged to stop, detain and identify people. And when the machine's automatisms fail, people are simply left out of the game by not being able to demonstrate their humanity. Proxies don't really matter. VPNs don't really matter. The Onions don't really matter. It seems that what Cloudflare doesn't like are "maskings"... So, by going around the Internet the way Cloudflare likes, we'll avoid the problem. And it is clear that this false "Guardian of the Net" is interested in us walking around completely naked.

I agree that this is definitely the underlying issue but this has also ALWAYS been the issue! Most of the history of the WWW has been an arms race between those entities that want to control it for their own benefit (e.g. Gov. + Gov. Agencies, Big Tech, other "special interest groups", etc. etc.) and those who value a free, (mostly) anonymous and decentralized WWW for all the value, freedom and prosperity it can bring to the world.
But that's also sort of the point with this issue here... Currently Epic is LOSING this arms race and is being outmaneuvered by entities like cloudflare!
So again, Epic Team, please get your act together, collaborate with other developers, groups or anyone else that could help and kick Cloudflares digital ass! Thanks. smile

Hello, so it seems that the problem I came here looking for a SOLUTION has been around for quite a while now but has still not been fixed despite numerous users complaining! sad !! I think I speak for a lot of other users when I say that this situation is utterly unacceptable and extremely annoying! Not just the problem itself but it's even more disappointing that the Epic team apparently does nothing/little to resolve this!? sad !!
For some reason this issue has started in my case regularly only about 2+ weeks ago. Before then 1 or 2 servers had temporary issues like described by other users and I could just switch to a different server and it worked but now NONE of the servers work (or just rarely) with an ever rising number of websites!
Bug 1 is that we can't even 'confirm to be human' with that little cloudflare verification box since that is in an infintie loop (FIX THAT!!) but the bigger and more important bug 2 is that this is even happening AT ALL!
It seems somewhat obvious to me (besides the software issues of this problem) that cloudflare (and probably other website protection services) have massively ramped up their blocking of even vaguely suspicious IP addresses and if an ever rising number of users are using the SAME Epic proxy servers it was very much predictable that all those IPs of your (static or limited?) proxy server network will end up on one or more blacklists. Hence the incessant cloudflare verification requests (that don't work = Bug 1)! So, the other question here is logically WHEN THE F*** ARE YOU GOING TO EXPAND AND/OR ROTATE/EXCHANGE THE IPs OF YOUR PROXY SERVERS so they don't get constantly blocked by cloudflare anymore!!! Seriously, as it currently is your browser is utterly USELESS to me! So, PLEASE FIX THIS YESTERDAY!
Thank you, I hope I can actually use your browser again at some point after you fixed this mess!
