    I just saw the same thing on my phone, iOS, I didn’t sign up for any Moon junk.

    Maybe OzBargain is protecting itself from bots or something. It did seem to go down for a little bit and has been slow. Just waiting for a little bit will probably be the easiest.

      This, happens if the site is being attacked.

      • The site gets ozbargained

  • We switched on Attack Mode on Cloudflare

    This is what causes Cloudflare to perform a quick security check your browser to see if it's a malicious bot

      Poor dealbot will be blocked today then.

      • Actually, all the bots will be blocked, the ones that post 90% of the things I buy.
        Today is the day OzB will become 90% less useful and my homepage may change.

        Cloudlfare doesn't discriminate against bots, good or bad they're all dead.
        With it now being listed as a site on haveibeenpwnd I'm starting to worry there's something we aren't being told.

          Lol. Are you concerned someone may discover you upvoted some Eneloops in 2022?

    • Was this enabled last night?

      Nevermind just saw Muzeeb's link to the announcement thread

      So that's why there's so few jv comments today…

      • There's been none so far this year.

    This is rubbish. I just wrote a long comment on another thread & it did a check, deleting the comment in the process.

      . Yep functionality has gone back two decaes. Now it wants me to confirm my email. Was down, probably due to the config. What a mess.

      Has been down intermittently for half an hour.

  • 90,605 guests at the moment! Far more than Black Friday period.

  • Was wondering why I was getting it frequently….also getting a resend submission prompt sometimes when reloading.
    Seems to be intermittent.

    Also explains why the deals are very few at the moment if the bots posting are all blocked.

  • Happening again?

  • Any way to disable to see ozbargain in desktop view on phone

    Can't get onto the site half the time anymore, just sits looping on that "www.ozbargain.com.au needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding." Screen forever…

      Yup, can't view desktop site on mobile at all when this happens.

  • +2

    Over the past few days this is now occurring on nearly every connection I make

    Thought something was wrong with my browser so glad that its 'not a me' thing :)

  • Thought this was a problem with my ISP ahah.

  • Certainly becoming difficult to access the site at all.
    Shame that this is the world we are living in. Darn DDoS causing these sort of requirements.
