Hello!

Over the past few days, I've received reports that Cloudflare is sometimes blocking completely legitimate actions by regular users.

I've already figured out some of the reasons for this (I think it's better now). However, it would be helpful if, in such cases, you could leave a comment here in the format: "URL : Ray ID : description of the action." For example: "https://codeforces.me/contest/2001/submit : 8b7fd4274bc1c315 : just tried to submit a solution."

I believe that if we gather such incidents, we can quickly eliminate this unwanted behavior.

After removing some shortcuts I succeeded to submit my problem but before that I received this alert : ""Sorry, you have been blocked" .

      Why Codeforces want to block bots to submit codes?

      I tried to submit a solution and cloudflare shows "You have been blocked". At the bottom of this page, I got the Ray ID.

UPD: It seems we don't have a large number of issues with this. But thanks to everyone who reported: I've applied one more reconfiguration and hope to see even fewer (or almost none) reports now.

Hi I am not able to submit any answers to contest problems since Nov. I get a N/A message after submission. I don’t see the submissions under my profile. Not sure what is causing this suddenly. I had no problems until Oct. Can someone please help? Thanks

      deleting the ?back=%2F part from the URL sometimes works for me. It's not a permanent solution, but maybe it might work for you until Mike takes a look?

Subject: Unable to Log In – Blocked Without Ray ID

Message: Hello,

I’m having trouble logging into my account metarudra28. Every time I try, I get a blockage message, but there is no Cloudflare Ray ID shown. I recently used a VPN, which might be related to the issue.

Could you please look into this and help me regain access? Let me know if you need any further information.

Please bring my account back

Thank you for your time and assistance.

Best regards, Rudra Bhungaliya

I had used Vpn yesterday, here on login I am not getting blocked by Cloudflare, but I am perhaps been blocked by the website.

Sorry to bother this thread after seven months, but my classmate encountered this issue and couldn't log in to codeforces.com.

Normally, he uses mirror.codeforces.com, but today the mirror seems to be malfunctioning, and he can't log in to CF. This is the Ray ID he received when trying to log in to the main site after turning off his VPN: 925e9ca23d5a09c0.
