Facepunch Cloudflare Problem with Mobile Data

[Ricool06]

I usually like to browse Facepunch on my android phone during travel, but in the past week or so all I have been getting whilst trying to access Facepunch is Cloudflare's "Checking your browser before accessing Facepunch" screen.

This kind of thing.

I usually use Opera Mini, but I have tried Chrome and the default browser too and neither appear to remedy the issue.
I'm with OVIVO mobile, I don't know if my carrier has anything to do with it.
My phone is a Huawei U8160.
I'm also from the UK.

I have no idea why this has recently started happening but it sucks because I can't browse Facepunch when I am bored.
Thanks in advance.

So this screen is always there? After 5 seconds it doesn't disappear?

Yeah, on Opera and Chrome it just stays there and doesn't redirect, and on the default browser it just continually redirects to the same Cloudflare page.

Weird. Everything is fine on my iOS Safari, but that's the whole different case, though.

I guess you have tried restartng your mobile device?

[Ricool06]

I restarted my phone and nothing has changed.
Does any other operator have this problem? I don't know if it is just OVIVO but I heard that proxies and stuff can be a problem to.

I'm having the same problem and I'm in the US with AT&T, also on Opera Mini.
I've tried the same things you've tried (different browsers, etc.) to no avail.

All I can figure is that for some reason, most, if not all mobile phone browsers can't pass the quick math test that Cloudflare dishes out to determine if you're a legit user, or a connection coming from a DDoS attack.

I do have a pretty shit phone, I wouldn't be surprised if Cloudflare thought it was a cardboard DDoS attack. Then again, I am having this problem with my Nexus 7 when tethered to mobile data.

I'm using an HTC One X on stock ICS so v:v:v
But from the lack of replies I don't think there's anything we can do about it.
Perhaps it's something that Garry or Cloudflare support has to look into.

[Ricool06]

Okay, well thanks for your help.
If anyone finds anything, let me know.

When using the full opera browser with offroad/turbo mode on, the screen always stays like that because it redirects the page to opera's servers before sending it to you

Opera mini might be using turbo mode automatically, i would check if there's a way you can permanently disable it

I've gotten some pretty weird stuff from cloudflare before. tried getting on FP the other day and after cloudflare did its little loading thing, this came up:

I don't know what Garry/CloudFlare did, but the problem is solved. I'm not sure if Cloudflare has stopped browser checking or whatever but I can browse facepunch now.
