'One more step to access www.wrongplanet.net'

Post Reply New Topic

I don't really want my first post here to be a bit of a moan but I couldn't find any existing threads about it...

When I try to access the site from work I get this rather dodgy-looking page telling me that a computer on my network is compromised and asks me to enter a Captcha to access the site. This page then re-appears every once in a while.

Now I'm a sysadmin by profession so I wouldn't be doing a very good job if any computers on my network were compromised so I can only guess that the IP we use here is on a blacklist somewhere. Is there any way to stop this page appearing?

If it's something the people running this site have genuinely put into place then I think it could discourage people from visiting the site because the appearance and layout of it makes it look like a browser hijack so it might be worth re-evaluating.

Thanks! (And sorry for the newbie moan)

The captcha screen is part of the CloudFlare caching service used by WP.
You'll find some information about that specific error here: http://www.wrongplanet.net/postp4544112.html#4544112

There are also some weird intermittent problems with WP and CloudFlare - these are being investigated.

(I'm afraid some posts were redacted by a member shortly before leaving, so the threads are a little tattered in parts)
There are probably other CloudFlare-related threads in this WrongPlanet.net discussion forum too.

Awesome, thanks very much
