Stuck in a cloudflare verification loop

[marthaHoopkins1976]

When I visit some sites I keep getting a cloudflare verification box. I verify that I'm human and get a "verification successful" confirmation, but rather than the next page loading the same verification box loads again. I keep verifying that I'm human and it keeps loading the same box which prevents me from progressing to the next page.
I have tried disabling ad-blockers, disabling any privacy settings, clearing the cache, visiting the same site in incognito mode, but nothing works.
I am using samsung internet 18.0.058. I tried updating the browser but google play says the latest version is not compatible with my device (samsung A01).
Any suggestions on what I can do?

Are you using a VPN? If so, turn that off.

Also, are you on a wi-fi network, or using your mobile network?

I'm not using a VPN. I have switched between wifi and my mobile network, nothing worked.
Would it help if I used public wifi if the problem is wifi?

Sometimes a particular wi-fi network can be configured in a way that causes issues with certain websites, so it's always worth trying a different network to see if the problem still happens.

I'll try and find a place with public wifi. If that doesn't work is there anything else I can do?

It’s a Cloudflare token/cookie loop (common on older browsers).

Try quickly:
- Turn **Private DNS off/auto**
- Ensure **JavaScript + cookies** are enabled
- Set **date/time to automatic**
- Try **mobile data instead of Wi‑Fi**
- Use another browser (best: **Firefox Android**)

If Firefox works, it’s your Samsung Internet version compatibility.

Yeah I would also check the DNS in settings if you have it Auto not private

the private DNS is autumatic. If I switch it to "private DNS provider hostname" what would happen?

I tried most of these solutions and they didn't work. I can only use samsung internet. I tried installing other browsers before but it didn't work

I use private DNS as a matter of course and I regularly get the CloudFlare verification screen depending on the website but never the loop.

I personally use CloudFlare private DNS (although there are others) so it might be worth trying using that if everything else seems to have failed.

In 'Private DNS provider hostname' type:

1dot1dot1dot1.Cloudflare-dns.com

and save. Probably worth then clearing your browsers cache and see what happens.

I tried this, the loop still appears.
