I guess it's time i look into migrating back out of cloudflare, specially since this exists. I dont want a 70k or a 100k bill anytime soon!
CloudFlare doesn't charge for traffic. You will be asked to upgrade to a paid plan or get restricted.
Edit: Catbox doesn't block every VPN IP. It's more likely that I'm lucky enough to always pick banned proxies and VPNs.

I'm just using the built in image functionality?
Is there a reason people are using external?
Folks with the 'Content Writer' tag have special permissions to use that feature. Mainly to help when staging LES Talk articles so you don't have to use external sites. It's blocked for everyone else since it was being abused a bit.

Thanks, but i decided to move the site away form "potential" downtime and instead go with "report here" button for my own image hosting script. Hope that'll at least mitigate that issue. If not, i'll move the image hosting site to a different provider to keep it from bringing my entire server stack down...

Have you considered implementing integration with a third party image hosting service like PostImages? They offer javascript only plugins that can help upload image to their site and add the "hotlink" back to the message box: https://postimages.org/plugins
The dont have one for this specific forum script, but the script itself is simple enough to be added/modified.
Never make the same mistake twice. There are so many new ones to make.
It’s OK if you disagree with me. I can’t force you to be right.

ah got it. Right...will try to use an external host going forward then.
That's pretty cool. Let's say if I wanted to do the reverse, to extract the text from your image. Would you happen to know of any simple way to do it on the web browser?

Hmm, simple? No. OCR is never easy, but you can leverage on what other people has done and implement that in your code.
You cant do it solely on frontend (browser) but you can do it with the support of a backend. Basically use javascript to "send" the image to a API (you can build your own API on your server where you can use java, python or PHP as a backend) to decode the image back to text and reply, where your javascript will receive the response.

That explains why I could upload images before, not anymore...
Hope all well!

I’m currently using Zipline - which do you find better of the two??
Rock Solid Web Hosting, VPS & VDS with a Refreshing Approach - Xeon Scalable Gold, DDoS protection and Enterprise Hardware! HostBilby Inc.
both are good imo, but I feel Chibisafe is better organized.
