I am only using icloud private relay, country and time zone, no more local than that. But so is the mac, and I get at worst, a checkbox there, though I use Firefox there rather than safari, and extensions vary.

OK just checked. Safari on the mac requires just the one checkbox, but Firefox gives me the stop sign puzzle. Same relay.

Retrying on the phone, this time, the checkbox suffices. So there's apparently some history.

Since I am a scout's honor non-bot, I really am fed up with cloudflare and/or Google, or any other entity making me pay the price for someone else's bad behavior.

Thanks for asking.



Looks like you prefer debugging to dinner :-)


I had an early dinner!


You’ve gotta complain about the state of the modern web once in a while!


Tell me that Cloudflare ISN'T the de-facto web. I use reading glasses to see the monitor, and I have had it with these all-day eye exams.

And yes, I was "there" before the world wide web, with uucp, and this constant interruption sucks even worse.

Who remembers jplvax?
