   And on some websites, Cloudflare has me wait and then I get the same message   
   again. I can wait from   
   now until doomsday and never get to the site. I use Windows 10 and generally   
   Firefox. Sometimes, if   
   it's a site I really need to get to, I'll switch browsers. Sometimes Edge or   
   Opera works, sometimes   
   not. Sometimes I can get through on my iPad using Safari. A real pain!   
      
   One website I couldn't get to was for a computer newsletter I subscribe to   
   (and pay for). I emailed   
   the editor. She asked for my IP address and, I think, whitelisted me. After   
   that I could get through.
