Cloudflare is messing up the last couple of days, but could also be possible that Arran made the security too strict for some countries.
Where do your friends live?

I haven't heard anybody else with issues. What happens if you use a VPN from a different country?

Yes, it happened same thing on my web browser on the PC, I am using Google Chrome on the computer, but this not happened on the Safari from my iPhone! So, I suggest you to clean your web browser, because I made this and now it works good. I think this is ome bug or something I am not sure. Try and tell me if it works

I thought I was the only one. I keep getting "Error 520" and after 2-5 minutes of refreshing, I can access the forum but the error keeps repeating after few minutes. This is very inconvenient. I'm facing this problem since last week and I am from Mauritius.

Clearly there is an error that is not from us, please notify this because it seems strange to me and at the same time it damages the activity of my group and I decided to report this error so that they would be aware of this.

This has happened since the user validation system was implemented (due ddos ​​attacks), it doesn't always happen, but it does occasionally and it's annoying.... I'm from Colombia

If you clean your browser like I just said and tested before this reply, is not works. Look, I have same error, so this is not from your browser or computer, this is because some problems with host or that DDos idk  「(゚ペ) but It take multiple times this error, like 5-6 times in 2 minutes, and refreshing all time same page and nothing.

@Arran are you able to look into this? Many players have the issue that forum doesn't load, keep getting error 520. I had it myself a few times as well.

Look at what... How the fuck am I supposed to fix something I didn't make or can even experience the bug myself. Cloudflare is obviously lying saying it's our server otherwise it wouldn't just happen to certain people.

I can't reproduce it, happens randomly. If I search the web, they all say it's the origin webserver.

Internet is full with it.

Maybe there are some logs in the IIS log?

I've experienced it now and have managed to reproduce it.

It happens when you spam web requests and works fine again after a few minutes.

So how about just stop doing dumb shit like opening 20 topics in 1 minute or whatever you're doing?

I've fixed it, it will now return "403 - Forbidden: Access is denied." error page instead of nothing at all (which is why cloudflare show their server had an error page)

I've adjusted the limit so legitimate users are less likely to hit the request limit by doubling the limit but also doubling the block time.
