What is Cloudfare????!!!!

Hello, Brilliant Staff. I have a doubt.........I had saved a lot of links in my bookmark tab.......but whenever I open them, a message appears stating that
" Checking your browser before accessing brilliant.org. This process is automatic. Your browser will redirect to your requested content shortly.

DDoS protection by Cloudflare Ray ID: 47821f6f7af92ef3

And the ray ID keeps on changing very time.................Also, most of the sets are not visible.........Also, if I go to the feed of some people, the older problems don't appear!!!!! All the stuff which I have saved is now turning useless............!!! Could you please change this??? .

This discussion board is a place to discuss our Daily Challenges and the math and science related to those challenges. Explanations are more than just a solution — they should explain the steps and thinking strategies that you used to obtain the solution. Comments should further the discussion of math and science.

When posting on Brilliant:

Use the emojis to react to an explanation, whether you're congratulating a job well done , or just really confused .
Ask specific questions about the challenge or the steps in somebody's explanation. Well-posed questions can add a lot to the discussion, but posting "I don't understand!" doesn't help anyone.
Try to contribute something new to the discussion, whether it is an extension, generalization or other idea related to the challenge.
Stay on topic — we're all here to learn more about math and science, not to hear about your favorite get-rich-quick scheme or current world events.

Hi @Aaghaz Mahajan, and @Jon Haussmann – Cloudflare is a service that we pay in order to protect us from DDoS attacks, which are becoming quite frequent on Brilliant. If you leave more time between opening your bookmarks, this shouldn't happen (or happen less often).

I'm sorry for the pain, but, this is a fact of life on the internet today.

Ohhh......I see Sir.......So, that means that this can't be controlled???? Also, is there no way to avoid this??? Because sometimes even when you check the feed of some people and go to their sets, for instance in PI Han Goh's sets, an error occurs and the page just refreshes back to the feed..............and that becomes quite irritating after some time........
But yes, I'll try your suggestion too.........hoping that it would work............!! Thanks for responding!!!

Aaghaz Mahajan - 2 years, 7 months ago

Sir, it has stopped now...........thanks for the tip though!!! :)

@Calvin Lin Sir, please look into this matter...................

Aaghaz Mahajan - 2 years, 7 months ago

Yes. This needs to be looked upon as everyone are facing the same problem.

Ram Mohith - 2 years, 7 months ago

I agree !!!! And it is persisting for about a week now!!!!!

Aaghaz Mahajan - 2 years, 7 months ago

I just want to add that I've been experiencing this too. Good to know that it's not just me.

Jon Haussmann - 2 years, 7 months ago

This happens on every website.

The reason everyone is using Cloudflare is that DDoS attacks have become so annoyingly common :(

Silas Hundt Staff - 2 years, 5 months ago

Cloudflare triggers their DDoS protection when you do a lot of stuff in a very short period of time. So the solution, don't do a lot of stuff in a short amount of time. If you want to trigger the DDoS protection webpage at your will, though, just keep refreshing any webpage on brilliant.

This happened to me too and after a day it stopped. This note contains some tricks that can access to some pages that Brilliant stuff have been deleted.
