Some issues with proxy tracking last 24 hours. Looks like @Cloudflare changed something with their managed rules, based on this huge spike in blocks starting ~1:30pm PST yesterday. We're working on figuring out which new rules are the issue so we can disable them.
reCAPTCHA was broken for a few days, as bot attacks made us exceed the free 10K/mo threshold, & somehow there was no billing attached, despite paying for other Google services with same account. Google didn't notify us of any issues, they just shut it off.
So that's fixed now.
We're going to release user agent filters very soon, to block AI/bot traffic as you see fit, like you already can with countries etc.
We update our global filters weekly, but it keeps getting harder to do that without too many false positives affecting other sites.
There may be a few blips this evening while we fix the networking on one of our servers, as it's been misbehaving since we had to move around all the ethernet cables last week. Likely just a bad cable issue, but we'll see.
We're at the data center today to replace this faulty network switch. There may be some brief moments of network unavailability in the next few hours. We'll let you know when we're all done!

https://t.co/YGCz5CHKgV has been added to a few threat databases recently. Please submit false positive reports to help resolve this ASAP.
Note, you must disable all ad-blockers & VPNs first, or the report will be rejected.

Our visitor and page view numbers are within typical ranges in the last 24 hours, but we have a few customers reporting access issues this morning. We're guessing it's a localized Cloudflare issue but anyone with issues, please email with full details!

Welp, that happened faster than I predicted. Thought it would be end of 2027, then early 2027, but agentic traffic growing so fast that bots have now passed human traffic online for the first time in the Internet's history. https://t.co/2zX5bHdhsa
