Re: Why Am I Being Redirected – And What Is Cloudflare?JR, we use four (oversimplified) factors for security and spam reduction.The machine is firewalled so only two ports are open to incoming connections.We use two-factor authentication with a rolling PIN for login over SSH, etc.Cloudflare intercepts all our DNS and only connects requests it likes.At the forum level, we connect to the Akismet and StopForumSpam servers to vet every new registration, also check every user's first few postsBetween those factors we only really end up having to deal with a small amount of blog spam, since the spam checker doesn't check first posts there, and the occasional bit of forum spam from services smart enough to just hire real people to do their dirty work. Considering we serve almost 2 million pages a month, I'd say it works pretty well!
