    I'm frequently getting the following message when posting to or reading Boards:

    "Checking your browser before accessing boards.ie.

    This process is automatic. Your browser will redirect to your requested content shortly.

    Please allow up to 5 seconds…
    DDoS protection by Cloudflare"

    Can anyone tell me what this is about? Thanks.

    It's part of counter-measures introduced following a DDOS attack a while ago. I presume you are accessing via a non-Irish server. I see the same when accessing from work (which is on a UK server)
