What other service? If it's a proxy, then it may be blocked as a defense against anonymous proxy DDoS attacks.

Yup, it was Opera Mini, which was used as an attack vector in the DDoS that you linked to. HB/Cloudfire just started blocking Opera's servers (or at least the one I am linked to) this evening, so maybe someone is doing it again. No worries, just an information point, no doubt things will get back to normal in a few days.

Today all is back to normal for me, no more cloud flare warnings and no more captcha challenges.

My connection from Japan today also sailed through without the initial screen check. Looks good from here - hopefully, potential DDOS attackers are still kept at bay.

Back to normal this morning here as well :D.

ETA: a funny footnote - just got a notice that the huge spike in traffic which has been triggering DDoS safeguards seems to be mostly due to so many people in so many countries live-streaming video coverage of Olympic events.
