Ask HN: Has my IP been banned from HackerNews?

I can't access HackerNews since last night. Any page I try to access gives me the error (502) message below:

"Yeah, that didn't work. Try again, perhaps later?

Web server is returning an unknown error

There is an unknown connection issue between CloudFlare and the origin web server. As a result, the web page can not be displayed."

followed by a Ray ID, my IP address and the CloudFare Location.

The only unusual activity I had before that was that I changed my password and that I am trying to code a script to get some data from my submissions and comments here.

What's the Ray ID?

It's a different one each time. Some examples:

d07066ee93c0749 d07068829a60749 d0720374a2700de

I'll poke around and have a look to see why. The Ray ID will be different each time; it's a debugging feature that identifies the request when something goes wrong.

If this persists please contact support AT cloudflare DOT com so we can track it.
