Access issues with VF from abroad without a VPN: frequent blocks

Tatra · 2025-08-08

Hi,

Is VF aware that it’s often blocked from abroad, even when roaming on a French carrier? Either with a "Cloudflare" block or a red message—the same one you get when using a VPN, except there isn’t one here.

Hi,

We’re looking into this with the tech team.

Yeah, it’s like your security rules are too strict and blocking some roaming connections—not all, but you’ve got my IP, you know where I’m writing from. Right now, I’m on Wi-Fi. I’ll add that the explicit Cloudflare mention is recent—just a few days, maybe a few weeks. Before that, things worked better. I haven’t seen it on other sites besides VF.

Between us, but it’s a nail I hate to hammer in (and you’re already aware of it), you really should have—if not an app—at least a site that works smoothly on mobile browsers.

Good evening,

Everything is working normally now. Thanks so much.

Do you happen to have a screenshot of when it got blocked? Otherwise, if it happens again, we’d need you to send us the RAY ID number that appears at the bottom of the block page via PM.
