Could not log on a few minutes ago, logon page had completed CAPTCHA checks ago, unresponsive for tens of seconds after entering user name and password and then this error was presented. Same result on two different browsers.

Yep. Same here. This page also hasn't loaded correctly.

Page seems to be loading properly now, it was utterly mangled after my first post.

 

Geekzone is also sluggish.

Copy/paste in the OP left an open tag. That's why this page wasn't loading properly.

We have two networks that share the load. The Vetta DDoS will impact part of the access. Cloudflare should failover automatically but the health checks return ok intermittently because the network is up and down, with reduced capacity.

 

I am manually switching all traffic to the other provider.

Can confirm that the attack towards Vetta has impacted Geekzone's connectivity.

 

While it should be automatic, we've manually shifted Geekzone traffic over to the secondary connection so it doesn't keep flapping between the 2.

I got "Error sending reCAPTCHA validation message"

 

Thought they use the Cloudflare one 😉
