Cloudflare Question

I live in China during the school year. MN is the only site where I can talk to/read about other people and major world events that’s not banned over there (thank you). I’m in the UK right now but going back tomorrow. About a week before I left China, cloudflare had gone totally mad, reverifying every 2-3 clicks and making it impossible to use the site because it got stuck on verifying for up to 10 minutes, and it also did it every time the site crashed/reloaded.
I’d like to know if the site will be more usable for me via the app? A VPN also upsets Cloudflare btw (but also doesn’t work on mobile data and I mainly use MN while out to fill time).
If the app doesn’t have the same cloudflare issue, I will sign up for premium membership to get rid of ads. If not I’ll not bother as I won’t be able to use MN much in the coming year.

Hi @ILiveinChina,

Thanks for flagging the Cloudflare issue. We'll take a look into it. It's hard to say if you will have issues with the app, but we can confirm that the app is available in mainland China, so you should be fine to use it once you're back.

Please let us know if you have any problems with it. If you're struggling to access Mumsnet, you can drop us an email at [email protected] and we'll see what we can do.

Thanks!
