Here's a simple tip if you want to block a specific site on Linux. Go to etc, find hosts and add the following line: 127.0.0.1 example.com.

This line redirects the domain example.com to localhost.

You won't believe why I struggled all afternoon to post this memo.

Mentioning the full path of the hosts file caused posting to fail.

Try posting a memo with it and see what happens.

Very interesting. Thanks for reporting. The request is being flagged as malicious and blocked by Cloudflare. It uses the same error code as not being logged in which confuses the FE.

You're welcome. Seeing as this is an issue with Cloudflare, is there anything you can do on your side to prevent such requests from being flagged?

The site has been updated to catch and display the correct error message if someone runs into this. Thanks again for reporting. I'll look into loosening firewall settings later.

Yes, changes could be made to the firewall to allow these through. I also want to update the front-end to detect CF responses and display them appropriately.
