    Hi Bozz,

    The ban list includes a check for an empty user agent. So any remote request with an empty user agent is forbidden.

    This basically means there is a simple solution. Add a user agent value to the admin-ajax.php request and you can keep using the ban list 😉

    That’s very interesting. In this instance it’s a form integrated with stripe. I wonder if Cloudflare is stripping the user agent.

    At any rate, I super appreciate your insight and sharing the solution. You rock!
