    FA server settings might just be set super-paranoid due to recent uptick in DDOSs and AI scraping.

    “Super-paranoid” as in “blocks basic encryption services like NordVPN and Cloudflare WARP because can’t tell diff between actual DDOS and many people using same IP cuz that’s kinda what a VPN is”

    Understandable paranoia, I suppose, but not acceptable. And incredibly ironic for their serverside Cloudflare config to… block another basic Cloudflare service???

      Fur affinity security can basically be summed up as a series of knee jerk reactions to endless harassment, death threats, and attacks over the course of two decades.

      The site is basically the punching bag for every upset twat who thinks furries are the devil.

      I agree, it isn’t acceptable. I feel like that’s part of the reason so many people dislike cloudflare, beyond them being a company who has a monopoly on communication. They kind of enable regressive practices like this.
