MikeMirzayanov's blog

Hello!

Over the past few days, I've received reports that Cloudflare is sometimes blocking completely legitimate actions by regular users.

I've already figured out some of the reasons for this (I think it's better now). However, it would be helpful if, in such cases, you could leave a comment here in the format: "URL : Ray ID : description of the action." For example: "https://mirror.codeforces.com/contest/2001/submit : 8b7fd4274bc1c315 : just tried to submit a solution."

I believe that if we gather such incidents, we can quickly eliminate this unwanted behavior.

After removing some shortcuts I succeeded to submit my problem but before that I received this alert : ""Sorry, you have been blocked" .

      I tried to submit a solution and cloudflare shows "You have been blocked". At the bottom of this page, I got the Ray ID.

I non-stop AM getting forbidden 403, if I change into a different app(I'm on Linux), it blocked all interactions for 5min on today's contest.

UPD: It seems we don't have a large number of issues with this. But thanks to everyone who reported: I've applied one more reconfiguration and hope to see even fewer (or almost none) reports now.

Hi I am not able to submit any answers to contest problems since Nov. I get a N/A message after submission. I don’t see the submissions under my profile. Not sure what is causing this suddenly. I had no problems until Oct. Can someone please help? Thanks

      deleting the ?back=%2F part from the URL sometimes works for me. It's not a permanent solution, but maybe it might work for you until Mike takes a look?
