Since this is a retrospective, and has nothing to do with HF21, What about this Cloudflare, I think it is called, when I use my smart phone to access steemit? Half the time it lets me in the other half of the time it does not, rather annoying,.
perhaps a post explaining it and why it is there and where we as users can go when it will not let us through. I currently do not have an e-steem or partiko account as a mobile back-up.
When you are seeing that it means that steemit.com is undergoing a distributed denial of service attack (DDoS). That service is protecting the site from the attack.
Nowadays I get similar messages from a couple of different sites. All probably common DDoS targets. The bigger sites (Google and Facebook etc) probably have their own homemade solutions for these kind of things.
Is it something on my phone then? An android virus that I need to look for or something? I never get it on my desktop.
It's probably some statistical thing they do "Likelihood depending on device and IP"
I know when I get the message it says something about the problem not being on my end, but I do wonder. There must be an android thing running around, I use my phone as my internet connection, so I am not sure it is an IP thing, but as long as I don't have a phone virus all is well on my end. A shame though that I have to wait til I get home to do anything steemit wise.
I have the issues too @bashadow .
I only have an Android phone.It doesn't happen all the time.
