Cloudflare offers these services to websites that want to protect their servers from Denial-Of-Service (DDoS) and other attacks.
Because of the size and power of Cloudflare, a DDoS attack would not work on their server. This allows other websites to use CloudFlare protection for a fee.
In today’s article, we will explore the reasons for this happening, and also answer important questions. Read on to find out more.
What can I do if Cloudflare is checking my browser?
Use Opera
In order to protect your user data and block cyberattacks, we recommend that you download and install Opera on your device.
The sites do protect their data by checking your IP, the type of packet sent to the website server, its size, and the rate at which they are received, along with other details.
By doing that, it allows the server to make sure that your PC is not trying to flood their website with DDoS attacks.
Moreover, with Opera, you get a built-in adblocker so that you can navigate the internet with fewer distractions.
Your privacy will be well protected also, with the free and unlimited integrated VPN.
Let’s have a look at some more key functionalities:
- Data synchronization.
- Easy to use search function through open tabs.
- Integrated social media accounts.
- Free VPN that ensure all your data is kept private.
- Battery saver function.

Enjoy navigating the Internet without having your browser crashing multiple times!
