Petro Canada and Cloudflare problem
Recently, while trying to access my Petro Points account I was blocked: "Sorry, you have been blocked You are unable to access petro-canada.ca Why have I been blocked? This website is using a security service to protect itself from online attacks. The action you just performed triggered the security solution. There are several actions that could trigger this block including submitting a certain word or phrase, a SQL command or malformed data. What can I do to resolve this? You can email the site owner to let them know you were blocked. Please include what you were doing when this page came up and the Cloudflare Ray ID found at the bottom of this page." I get this with Firefox, Chromium and Edge on my desktop system and also with Firefox on my notebook computer, both running OpenSUSE 15.6 KDE. However, that site works with my notebook running Windows 10 & Firefox and also Chrome on Android. I tried the help desk, but they were useless. Any ideas? tnx jk

Two of the three browsers on my desktop computer have never been used to access that site and I haven't used my notebook for it either. However, that notebook works in Windows but not Linux. This makes me think there's a problem with Linux.

As was already said by everybody else who responded, change your user agent. I got the same error as you and when I changed it to claim to be a Winodze box, I got access to the site.
