+--- Thread: Error 502 (/showthread.php?tid=132886)
Error 502 - emptyset - 11-11-2015
When I am not logged in, any attempt to access a thread results in a "502 Bad Gateway" error being returned. Before the controller failure and subsequent rollback, announcement threads and some Flood threads could have been accessed. Now no threads can be read, and even when I attempted to open the Create account page, I got a 502 and had to retry.
Both before and after the rollback registering an account solved the problem. The wiki and most special pages can be viewed without errors even when I am logged out.
Judging by that no errors are shown when I use a proxy, this may be a problem with the firewall (?). If that is the case, assuming I understand correctly how the forum works, my IP address can be obtained from this post; failing that, an admin can ask me for my IP via PM.
I am not a native speaker of English, and I hope that mistakes in this post (if any) do not make it impossible to read and understand.

I have not found any mention of your IP in our cloudflare blocklist or the firewall. I don't even have pfblocker installed at this point, so it's unlikely the firewall is the cause.
I believe your problem might be with cloudflare themselves. You might have been blacklisted.

Thank you for your reply.
Given that:
1) not all site pages return errors;
2) this is the only site that has this problem;
3) I get errors that are supposed to indicate server-side problems rather than being blacklisted;
4) I have been getting the error on several IPs (my IP is not static; rebooting my router is usually enough to get a new IP, and that did not solve the problem),
I slightly doubt that I have been blacklisted by CloudFlare.
Is it possible to find out for sure whether I have been blacklisted? Googling only gives a page for site administrators about how to blacklist IPs (maybe I am that bad at googling and searching?).
