Is it normal for Kbin to frequently have to verify if my connection is secure via Cloudflare, if I neglect the tab for more than a couple of minutes? (kbin.social)

@niktemadur The dev enabled DDOS protection due to how swamped the server has been from reddit shenanigans. That verify screen is a result of that. Once the infrastructure is improved, that'll go away.

@jon
Got it. Good to know, instead of wondering if my settings were activating the verification more often than they should, but the frequency of it is not due to anything at my end.
Thank you.

I've personally seen it go away at this point, are you still seeing it?

Now that you mention it, it does seem to have stopped. I was away for a few hours, and didn't get the Cloudflare verification while getting back in here,

@niktemadur Yes, because the swaths of people who came over from Reddit basically act like the kindest DDOS ever.
