I noticed that the forum is not loading properly and I have to refresh it. I just want to report it so it can be checked and fixed.
Error 520 usually points to an issue between Cloudflare and the origin server, not necessarily that your region is blocked. It can happen if the server is overloaded, misconfigured, or temporarily not responding properly. You can try switching networks (mobile data vs WiFi), flushing DNS, or using a VPN to confirm if it’s location-related. But most likely this needs to be fixed on the server side, so reporting it like you did is the right step
There is no issue on the HowtoForge servers; the site is loading fine, and systems are not overloaded; it's a region issue with Cloudflare, where CloudFlare edge nodes in Australia, Singapore, and Hong Kong have connection problems. All other CloudFlare nodes are working fine. CloudFlare is investigating it, but they have not yet found the cause for the failure in their systems. Btw. You poste dthis to an old 2021 thread, which is not related to the current CloudFkare access issue.
