CloudFlare Under Attack Mode

[Sulphur]

Will Cloudflare under attack mode be advisable to enable? Or will it reduce traffic? Because solving the captcha to enter in site might increase the bounce rate?

I'd say it definitely increases the bounce rate. These captchas, especially when a human has to solve them can be a pain in the butt. And sometimes the Cloudflare Captcha reloops itself even when it has completed the captcha successfully. I'd only enable this if i really have to.

I'd recommend only enabling it if you actually are under attack. The captchas and interstitials can be annoying and in some cases repeat indefinitely, especially if a user is using a proxy or VPN. It certainly won't improve your UX.

not recommended until you're in under attack, you can set "High security" instead of under attack to prevent bots or proxy traffic

as a user on a website that has a cloudflare verification/captcha, do you know what proxy type is best to use in order to not get a failed/error message? Right now i cannot get passed any and i tried 3 diff proxy vendors.

Is this in an actual browser situation or are you trying to scrape something?

I use both Rayobyte and WebShare proxies for browser-based stuff, and they're both ok with Cloudflare. I'll have to click a captcha box every so often, but I never get completely blocked.
