still doesn't work here on my RPi5 with 7.20.5 client.

can't connect to the project.

Jesus, it seems like you guys need to be adjusting the cloudflare user agent settings for whatever cloudflare protection you are using. not any local network settings at the university.

Using boinccmd still gives the exact same results:

boinccmd --lookup_account https://denis.usj.es/denisathome/ <my email> <my password>
status: Success
poll status: operation in progress
poll status: permanent HTTP error


It may be Cloudflare, Jesus, and not your firewall. I know you will have to use those resources provided to you by the University and I realize that means using Cloudflare however I have to say their product seems rather anti-science in it's effective implementation. I hope you are able to find a solution.

Hi!
They are adding the exceptions in Cloudflare, but, yes, we need them to improve it.

Thank you.

Hi!
The IT department is trying to open the minimum possible to let you connect but avoid any possible atack.

They have modified the configuration again and it seems you are been able to connect. Could you check?

Thank you!


I continue to receive the same error that I (and others) in this thread have posted already, where we receive a Cloudflare "Are you a human?" challenge rather than the response that BOINC expects.

While I can appreciate your IT department wanting to only open up the minimum needed, the fundamental problem is that your Web Application Firewall (Cloudflare, in this case) has a bot protection feature enabled on a service where communication with bots (read: not humans) is a fundamental requirement of the application.

Attempting to whitelist user agents (or whatever your IT team might be doing) is a fool's errand, because user agents can vary between platforms and different versions/builds of the BOINC client, and someone with evil intent can take advantage of this by having their malicious bot simply use a whitelisted user agent.

Meanwhile, your research (which is presumably being funded by a time-limited grant) is being impaired.

My apologies if I come across as sounding annoyed, but this problem has a very straightforward technical solution.

I don't know if this will help but I set up both my working box and my non-working box to look up my DENIS@home account key every 10 minutes. Your it team should see one successful attempt and one failure from my IP address every 10 minutes.

"It's the bot fight mode of Cloudflare that blocks the connection. But, it shouldn't block it because I excluded everything with User Agent "BOINC Client".

I've checked some more exclude boxes, please try again, otherwise I have to disable the bot fight mode which I don't really want to do because of all the scrapers."

Just copy the .xml file from a pc where the project is already added and paste it into the correct folder in your pc that does not have it added and it will be added, you won't get any tasks due to the 'http permanent error' problem but at least it will be there if/when they do get it fixed. I keep a copy of all the projects .xml files on a usb stick just for that reason.
