Cannot access a website due to Cloudfare on multiple Linux machines
by thelynx from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5HA6E)
I have been trying to access a website, https://www.trustswap.org for two days now. Attempting to access it on my Fedora (34) using Firefox, I am first taken to a Cloudfare captcha page, which I complete correctly. The target page then appears for an instant but is then replaced with a white page with the words "An unexpected error occurred". I figured this was just a browser issue, so I cleared the cache and turned off my vpn and tried again. No luck. I rebooted, no luck. I tried 3 other browsers (Brave, Chrome and Midori) -- again, no luck. Frustrated, I then turned on my laptop which is dual boot Endeavour and Deepin. Endeavor (Chromium, Brave, Firefox), same issue. Deepin, same issue. I then tried with my RPI4 running Manjaro with Firefox. Same issue.
I also tried installing Privacy Pass as suggested on the Cloudfare captcha page, but that only results in more flickers before landing on the error page.
Exasperated, I then called a friend who runs Manjaro on his laptop. He has the exact same issue. His wife has a Windows Surface Tablet and it connects no problem. I also contacted a friend who is running Windows 10 on his desktop. He can access the page without a problem too. I can connect with my Xiaomi phone with no issues.
So I think we can conclude that this is a Linux issue with Cloudfare. Can anyone provide any guidance on how this issue can be overcome? It's driving me a bit mad.
Thanks in advance.
