[SOLVED] Admin extensions - DDoS protection by Cloudflare and auto page refreshes

Version 3.0.3.2
Today I am seeing a message "DDoS protection by Cloudflare" in admin extensions, and the page is automatically refreshing every 5-10 seconds. This is happening on both of my websites that are hosted on the same account.
I'm not using cloudfare so I'm confused why I am seeing this message today. I'm concerned about hacking.

I am assuming that is where normally the OC advertisement goes.

Thanks for the fast reply. Yes, I remember the OC banner was in that location. I guess it's just a temporary glitch so I will ignore it for now.

I am having the same issue. Bit of a pain as there isnt enough time to open the module I want to edit.

Options you have:
1. tell that CloudFlare
2. tell that OpenCart Dev Team (to move away from them)
3. disable this check (do it by yourself)

Everyone who is using OpenCart 3.x and opened the Extensions page in the backend exactly in that timeframe, had (and maybe will have) this problem.
So, this has nothing todo with you, me our my dog.
And the solution is already posted above.

4. Or don't use CloudFlare
In our experience CloudFlare tends to slow things down anyway, despite its claim of being a performance-boosting CDN.

True (forgot that ..) - thx Juergen.
But finally, we have to talk with Daniel - OpenCart use CF and make troubles sometimes in the backend!

Simpler solution is:
go to /admin
config.php
comment the line
Code: Select all
// OpenCart API
define('OPENCART_SERVER', 'https://www.opencart.com/');
for
Code: Select all
// OpenCart API
//define('OPENCART_SERVER', 'https://www.opencart.com/');

I would put the return here:
Code: Select all
class ControllerExtensionExtensionPromotion extends Controller {
public function index() {
return '';
This avoids the curl init and execution.
