Cloudflare protected sites loop "Checking if the site connection is secure" on Firefox 52 and Mypal 68

I remember, back in 2015, there was a virus that asked to prove whether you're "not" a robot, when someone tried to delete it. The same what Cloudflare does.

Conclusion: Cloudflare is a virus. Don't visit.

Trying to parrot @D.Draker's conclusions. I know, it's nowhere near the original, but I try.

Good! Why not?!? Of couse it feels you're still a newbie, but good!

How do we know whether Cloudflare is not a scam itself?

Anyone stupid enough to follow the "verification steps" of that fake captcha DESERVES to have his/her hard drive reformatted !!!

Certainly NOBODY here at MSFN is that stupid.

My parents, on the other hand, they have fallen for fake "download now" buttons on more than one occasion.

Cloudflare is legit and MANY websites are forced to use it to deal with the huge issue of bots these days. The alternative is to dig through access logs and maintain a block list manually.
