    So lurking a bit and reading the conversation about 1.1.1.1- which is very interesting- is this something that won't mess up mTurk hits as far as them thinking we are bots? We have Inifinity and they are so laggy during the day-- wondering if this is something I could use and why haven't I been aware of this before?

    Ok you keep saying dark things like that and you're going to make me have to make a Xanax latte with extra sprinkles.

    Maybe they should take reservations and send out X number hits with a cushion??? I was in the middle of the hit, it wasn't like I couldn't get in at all???

    Hello,
    Thank you for writing, and thank you for your interest in our research. Unfortunately, due to overwhelming interest in this study, so many people tried to access the game that our server completely froze. We will be sending out other opportunities to participate (but to fewer people at a time).
    In appreciation for your interest, we can offer you 10 cents in compensation as a bonus to your account. Please keep an eye out for that to be processed by end of Tuesday.

    I so wish a graphic like that would have been shown during the actual hurricane alerts.

    Asking you, since you are the only one that responded to my inquiry, albeit as a joke. Seriously, will it mess with mTurk hits?

    @Randomacts want to take a stab at explaining the CloudFlare DNS setup.

    You wouldn't have any issues. A DNS is like a yellowbook in a way.

    Currently you most likely are using your ISP's DNS and it is 'okay' but other ones may be more stable or faster. Google's DNSs is popular but some people are worried about google logging everything ect and so they try to go with alternatives.

    Essentially most larger DNS service providers use multiple locations and you get assigned to closest POP/location with the lightest load, connection time so forth and so on.... Your going to be directly connecting to the mturk site, DNS is as @Randomacts stated the phonebook.

    This makes me want to dive into their GDPR compliance statements.

    They only need to be GDPR complaint if they are dealing with European data.

    I know but DNS is without borders. Hence why I want to see if they state anything on the matter.
