Hi,
I just launched a new instance and installed discourse on it. Everything went well and I received the email to verify my admin account as well. However, clicking on the link that was sent to my email, I go to the email confirmation page but the confirmation button doesn’t seem to work. It doesn’t do anything and clicking on login takes me to a blank white page. I installed the docker image of discourse.
Can anyone help, please? Thanks in advance

Do you have any ad block extensions installed? Are you using a domain name?

Actually I found the problem! It was because of cloudflare. As soon as I disabled DNS proxy, it worked.
So my other question now is, should I never activate cloudflare for this instance?
