[QUOTE="John Roberts, post: 49497, member: 126"] Re: Why Am I Being Redirected – And What Is Cloudflare? If concerned about your IP, you can just do a google search of your raw IP and see if it shows up as flagged by a black list. In my hand-to-hand combat with hackers I find some that I identify are black listed already but most are not, so the black list filter reduces but doesn't eliminate all threats. Reducing them is a good thing though. if cloudflare dynamically looks for bad behavior from non-black listed IPs and throws a few hurdles in their path, it is a minimal annoyance to valid users, and perhaps enough to discourage spammers/hackers who try to make it up on volume and won't invest a lot of time on a low profile target. There is a recognizable signature and footprints from a lot of bad web behavior, so the smarter and larger cloudflare gets, the better it could work. While if too effective they would become the focus of an arms race to exploit and overcome their filters. JR [/QUOTE]
