Investigated the traffic issue (the reason for the “automatic verification” from Cloudflare being shown.).
External ongoing spike in website traffic started eight hours ago, that I’ve partially blocked now.
This time so far the peak was eleven times the normal website traffic once again related to some new AI-bots!
Sorry the “automatic verification” turns on automatically until traffic levels fall back to the normal range, please have patience.
Last intense bot traffic was back on August 8th.
Website is working and accessible apart from that.
