Login suddenly stopped working, returns "patreon_"

Okay, I had to disable that plugin and went back to the default one. Users starting complaining about getting block by Cloud Flare. Example image attached. As soon as I disabled that plugin the CL error stopped.

I got rid of the Cloud Flare error, but now any log-in attempt returns “patreon_” for me and any of my players. Basically no one can use the plugin right now… :triumph:

I had to put back the plugin attached by you here, because the default one was just returning “patreon_” no matter what. Now it seems to be working at the moment (no Cloud Flare error at least); but this has been a very stressful day with a lot of players complaining.

Because even if the error message from cloudflare is not displayed, that error still happens and the non-modified earlier version of plugin just doesnt show what happened. Cloudflare doesnt go away by changing plugin package or its versions.

I recommend to switch back to the new package you received so your users will know why they cant log in when they cant log in until we can do something about cloudflare on our side.

Yes, I’m using right now the modified plugin you attached here and, for the moment, it seems to be working. I’ll let you know if any user report something different from the Cloud Flare error.

Do you know if Patreon itself uses CloudFlare? Because the CloudFlare error page only appears after hitting the “ALLOW” button during the login process, and there are ZERO records in my CloudFlare firewall log. I’m starting to think that the error has nothing to do with my CloudFlare setup (that never before had any issue).
I’m dropping here a Cloudflare Ray ID that one of my players shown me: Cloudflare Ray ID: 4376bb31d9e35e9a

Yes, CloudFlare is used in front of Patreon API.

“Sorry, you have been blocked” - Cloudflare Ray ID: 437f2d2f79c7b9ee

API’s cloudflare settings were just readjusted by Patreon. Please check it out and see if you can reproduce the cloudflare-block.

Got a blocking report from a player today: Cloudflare Ray ID: 438ba97e4b02b9d6

Updating: There were changes made at CloudFlare to address this issue just today.

Please try to reproduce the issue and let us know if it occurs, or if you are not able to reproduce it at all. Any input is appreciated.

Can’t get the blocking anymore by myself. I’ll let you know if any player report it.

We’ll appreaciate that. Thanks.

I got today a player complaining about the Cloudflare blocking.
Cloudflare Ray ID: 4375d31ec9f382f1

Did he give the time of the block-incident? And the exact message?

I’m afraid not. However, if you enter CloudFlare, you can see all the details about the event in “Firewall Events”, searching for the Ray ID.

Any more incidents?

.

No. I haven’t received any other complain from my players. I’ll immediately let you know if I got any other report.

I seem to be having this same problem… Has there been a fix implemented?

This is a very old thread from july, so it doesnt apply anymore. The relevant bug reported was fixed long time ago.

I very much suspect the issue you have is due to your plugin version being way outdated.
