There are multiple websites, pexel, gimkit, chatgpt, and others that have recently started blocking our school district public facing ip’s. They are hosted by Cloudflare. They all come up with a message like this (or very similar):
www.pexels.
Checking if the site connection is secure
www.pexels needs to review the security of your connection before proceeding.
Then they go know further. What can be done to correct this issue?
Website owners can literally do what they want to do with their websites, that’s beyond the control of Cloudflare, even when the website owner choose to use Cloudflare.
In your situation, only the website owners can help you with what happens on their website, and you will therefore need to contact them for further assistance.
