A new entry window to PPRuNe ..?
My automated sign in to PPRuNe is now followed by this message on a blank page:
Checking your browser before accessing pprune.org.

Please allow up to 5 seconds…
I've not seen this before - anywhere on the interweb. Is anyone else seeing this, or can anyone enlighten me as to what this is and why I am seeing it ..? It was first noticed this morning (Australian time).
My immediate reaction was some kind of hijack? Then again perhaps not; but how could I be sure either way ? So I'll ask.

about 10 hours ago they were struggling and the site was unusable.
That window is a denial of service protection feature. So I can only presume someone was trying to take the site down and they have had to turn it on allow the site to function.

I wouldn't worry.
Here is a discussion of a similar protection system

Thank you one and all. The situation is now fully understood, and the reasons behind it are accepted and indeed applauded.
One of the great things about PPRuNe is that usually someone somewhere can assist and is ready and willing to do so
Much appreciated.

I mentioned it yesterday and observed that just once is okay, but my Favourites tab is how I dart about prune. Of course, it restarts it each time.
That was such a good system. Now it's f . . . not.

Been getting this for a while now. Not a major problem but mildly annoying. However, just discovered that my Android phone can't get into PP via the "Cloud" in my local coffee shop. Works fine on WiFi at home and on mobile data.
