Do you have a static/permanent IP address? I assume you are using your home Wi-Fi service.

AI Overview

To keep the same IP address in Safari and prevent it from constantly changing or being hidden, you need to disable Apple's privacy features that mask your IP, specifically iCloud Private Relay and "Hide IP Address" settings.

Here are the methods to keep your IP address consistent, ranked by effectiveness:

1. Disable iCloud Private Relay (Most Effective)
If you have iCloud+, Private Relay acts as a VPN, constantly changing your IP address.
On iPhone/iPad: Go to Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Private Relay and turn it off.
On Mac: Go to System Settings > [Your Name] > iCloud > Private Relay and turn it off.

2. Turn Off "Hide IP Address" in Safari
This prevents Safari from hiding your IP from known trackers, which can cause erratic IP behavior.
On iPhone/iPad: Go to Settings > Apps > Safari. Under Privacy & Security, tap Hide IP Address and select Off.
On Mac: Open Safari > Settings > Privacy. Uncheck "Hide IP address from trackers".

3. Allow IP Address for Specific Sites
If you want to keep privacy features on generally, but need a consistent IP for one specific site:
Open the website in Safari on iPhone.
Tap the "Aa" or Page Settings icon on the left side of the address bar.
Tap Show IP Address.
This allows that specific site to see your real, consistent IP.

4. Turn Off "Prevent Cross-Site Tracking"
Sometimes, restricting trackers forces Safari to use generic IP addresses.
On iPhone/iPad: Go to Settings > Apps > Safari and turn off Prevent Cross-Site Tracking.

5. Disable VPNs
If you use a third-party VPN, it will constantly change your IP. Turn off any active VPN apps to maintain a consistent IP from your Internet Service Provider (ISP).

Important Note on Dynamic IPs
Even with these settings off, your ISP usually assigns a dynamic IP address, which means your router's IP will still change periodically (e.g., when you restart your router), regardless of Safari settings. To keep the same IP permanently, you would need to purchase a static IP from your ISP.

iOS and Mac OS had a security patch that ran recently. Like within the last two days. 26.3.1 (a).

From AI:

MacOS 26.3.1 (a) is a version of Apple's operating system that includes important security updates and bug fixes. It specifically addresses a vulnerability in WebKit that could allow malicious web content to bypass security measures.

iOS probably says the same thing.

It’s going smooth right now but to answer the questions, I made no changes, and yes, just the one Spectrum internet account. (Well that and the T-Mobile data for when I’m out)

I had already updated to that (iPadOS 26.3.1(a) ) but the problem here was still occurring.

Im sorry your having problems buddy...I see Todd tried to add your IP to the allow list on cloudfare..

I hope it gets better for ya

It was okay for a while late last night but it’s back now. It’s starting to annoy me. I tried it on the phone with both WiFi and then turning it off and using the 5G and it happened both times. The common denominator seems to be Safari.

But please don’t ask me to switch browsers because I don’t want to do that.

You are doing many searches. I wonder if you are being flagged as a suspicious user. You are getting by the challenges. It's just not saving them because your IP address is changing. Are you able to change it to a IPv4 address?

I asked ChatGPT for help. It suggested I add the whole range.

2603:7001:fb00:49ec::/64

https://chatgpt.com/share/69bec06d-9...f-9c67022af36e

Here are some other things you can try if it doesn't work.

Challenge solve issues

Detection errors: If Turnstile suspects bot-like behavior, you may encounter repeated Challenges for verification.

The high volume of searches could be leading to repeated Challenges for verification.

It's cute that you think I understand any of that.

I don't feel I'm doing any more or less searching then usual.

I'm on the PC for this so everything's ok.


>>>Are you able to change it to a IPv4 address?<<<

I thought I had one

I’m back on the iPad, where it’s currently working. Here’s some of the things settings says

[TJ]

I would turn off the Limit IP Address Tracking option if it's still not working to see if it helps. I don't know what else I can do or suggest. Do you see repeated challenges on any other sites using Cloudflare?

[Dude111]

I dont think that has anything to do with it buddy

So far this afternoon I’ve twice done stuff here with no problems and I haven’t made any changes.

Cloudflare doesn’t come up at any other board I read although I don’t know if they use it behind the scenes. I know Primetimer had adopted it around the same time you did but it doesn’t pop up there for me anymore.

Maybe your whitewashing finally kicked in?

[Dude111]

I hope so

It hasnt on the site I told you about Opus (It is still Denying that IP and he said he DID add it so I dont know why it wont allow it)

If ya wanna test it Opus.. WHT uses cloudfare also

www.webhostingtalk.com (VBB (VB4 to be exact))


See if you can get there

https://yarn.co also uses Cloudflare. Their embedded gifs don't display because the managed challenges block hotlinking. I was able to allow hotlinking with the help of ChatGPT. I had to create a custom rule.

Adding your entire IP range seems to have done the trick. You are getting a new IP address at least every few hours for some reason. Maybe Cloudflare thinks you are a new user because of the amount of searches.

ChatGTP says that’s normal—

Q: Why do I keep getting a new ip address?

A: That’s actually pretty normal—most people don’t have a permanently fixed IP address. Here are the main reasons yours keeps changing:


(I won’t bother listing the tech reasons it gave. You can go check on your own if you want)

[Dude111]

When I goto yarn.co with the same proxy I use to come here I get

"Sorry, you have been blocked"

If I come here with the same site I gave you Todd I get the same thing I get if I try to come here....... (Even though you tried to add it to the allow list)

I just read today my friend Skip who owns hipforums is getting these attacks now also....... Its very sad........ 40,000 on the other day I guess......

Read this todd,its very sad..
