When did Tinyurl start using Cloudflare? (self.webdev)

I'm getting Cloudflare's JavaScript-based screening page when trying to hit tinyurl.com with curl and extract the real link. Anyone know if this has been going on for a while?

Seemed to start around the beginning of this year actually. Last I checked, their old backend still works though, maybe, depending on your browser and stuff.

Try my backup of their old service: https://tinyurl.com/ctinyurl

Edit: Yes I realize the irony, I designed that in.
