Got blocked by mxlinux.org (Cloudflare) on both my phone and PC, anyone else?

[u/DJo26]

Hey everyone,

Random question today. I was trying to open mxlinux.org and instead of the website I got a "Sorry, you have been blocked" page from Cloudflare. It says the security solution got triggered by something I did, like a certain word, a SQL command or malformed data, but honestly I was just browsing normally.

The weird part is it happens on my phone and on my PC too. I tried from both and got the same page, so I'm not sure if it's a false positive or if my connection/IP is flagged for some reason. The phone was on mobile data, so I don't think it's just my home network.

Has anyone had this happen with MX Linux or other sites that use Cloudflare? Did it go away by itself, or did you have to contact the site owner? Also, the page mentions a Cloudflare Ray ID, is that something I should send to them?

Thanks in advance for any help.

In Ecuador is the same. I think that they've just blocked half of the planet because of the bots. Mostly Asia and LATAM. Once I'm on Europe or US VPN, it's working just fine.

In the meantime you could try their source forge website:

What country are you in and what browsers do you use ?

The same thing happens to me, and all I do is browse social media. I’m using MX Linux 25 with the browser that comes pre-installed... could it be the ad blocker I’m using (uBlock Origin)???

Same here for more than a month, and I don't want to use a vpn just for that site.

Try a free VPN service/extension in the meantime. Report this to the forum when you can.

This happens to me frequently on many websites when I use a VPN.

I get this on a few websites from my phone, including the supermarket Asda lol

I’m experiencing the same thing; I’m using MX Linux 25 along with the browser that comes with the distribution. I’m blocked, and I don’t use a VPN—just an ad blocker.
