=== Cloudflare Policies ===
Cloudflare has a tendency of flagging websites without fact checking their reports. And once a website is cleared, there's nothing stopping it from being flagged right again.<gallery mode="packed" heights="200">

=== Glitches ===
[[File:Fp three times.jpg|thumb|290x290px]]
Sometimes, clicking "Ignore and Proceed" on the warning page will result in a 403 error, forcing users to restart the page and click it again.
This glitch is guaranteed to happen if the "Ignore and Proceed" button is located right beneath the "Learn More" button on the warning page.
Sometimes, clicking "Ignore and Proceed" will do nothing at all, forcing users to click it multiple times to access their websites.
