Off Topic "Checking Secure Connection"

Anyone getting a strange " Corvette Forum checking to make sure you have a secure connection" before you get to any pages? Getting it on my laptop and my cell phone browser.

Started getting it last night and still popping up this morning.

Yesterday, I was unable to log in for a few hours, thought it was my Modem but then realized the other links/websites had no problem opening up.
Now, I've been getting that same 'Checking Secure Connection' before it let's me connect.

On my systems too. Couldn’t find anything in the help Forum.

I do get a similar test on other secure apps I use, like mobile banking

Cloudflare is a service used by a ton of websites to help protect against attacks. As a web developer, I have experience with it on a bunch of sites I host. If a website is under a lot of attacks, or Cloudflare notices abnormal traffic patterns to the website, Cloudflare gets more aggressive at trying to weed out threats and starts doing more rigorous checks, even showing a captcha challenge to some visitors. That is probably what is happening here, the forum was/is under attack and Cloudflare is doing its thing.
