Dave- I'd agree if it happened other places as well but it only ever happens on OSO. I'm pretty picky about the apps I have installed also, only have a few and they all get scanned.

CloudFare is a tool OSO and many others use to protect against DDoS attacks. (Distributed Denial of Service)
Without going too far into the weeds, it's a tool to keep the riff-raff out; and the actual OSO members able to access the site.
DDoS is an attack type that Anonymous, and other hackers/evildoers/attackers use.
It's there for your protection, not annoyance. Don't worry about it.

I got a one of the failed log in attack notices last night emailed to me from OSO. Someone was trying to log in under my name.
The IP address they were using to try and log in from was from Bejing China.
It probably has something to do with that also.

Yes, OSO was under attack. IB put this software up as a precaution.
