Looks like infinityfree and us the users having a bad year. The second issue this year.. the first one not yet solved yet. Was fixing everything brick by brick.. now the next issue. :pleading_face:

6

all my sites are doing this domains rf.gd and gt.tc regardless of browser.

7

This is happening on every browser on every device I’ve tested. At first it would sporadically work.

13

Unfortunately that doesn’t seem to be a reliable workaround. I got it to work once, but then upon refreshing (still in incognito) I got redirected to the cookie error page. It might be worth be trying, but I wouldn’t count on it.

15

Same issue when refresh. i fixed some code i was think ist bcof my codes but not. actually this is server problem. when il will be fiX?

16

So this is why my website was suddenly not working. I have been using infinityfree for my college projects and I even have a final presentation today. Im so unlucky :disappointed_face:

18

I have the same issue. When I delete the “Cookie” browsing history, the website seem to work for just a moment, but then it goes down after a refresh.

19

Maybe the issue is on __test cookies. I’ve been investigating the “Cookies not enabled” redirect loop that many of us are seeing. After extensive testing, I’ve found the root cause:

  • InfinityFree’s aes.js bot protection sets its own cookie __test. This cookie always survives and is sent back to the server. Even deleting and on private browser

  • However, any other cookie – including PHP’s PHPSESSID, custom remember_me, or plain test cookies – is intermittently stripped by the server before reaching the browser.

  • The ?i=1,2,3 challenge loop appears for no reason

Please help us investigate and fix why all cookies except __test are being filtered or dropped. This breaks standard PHP session handling on your free hosting. Thank you.

There is a support article on this

21

issu appear in asia also, we’ll wait couse my web app deploy here

22

There were no updates to the security system?

Im also experiencing this error as of now. My website is stlmiputatan.org and all the subdomains i created are also affected by this. Hopefully, this can get resolved quickly. Im considering a paid subscription in this platform, do you think this will work to fix my problem about cookies?

25

Not that I am aware of. It is possible this is an update-gone-wrong, but it could also be many other things. It is nighttime / the weekend so most of the server team is not working (And those that are working are focused on fixing the problem, not explaining the problem to others).

paid plans are not affected by this issue because they use a different security system, so upgrading would be a solution. It would be a gamble if you are able to move everything over before the issue gets fixed.

26

It only happens on pages that try to use cookies, including login pages.

I Checked Network(Fetch/XHR) They were pretty normal.

Additional diagnostic information

I can confirm this issue is affecting multiple domains hosted on the InfinityFree network, including:

  • webburnstech.dev

  • docs.webburnstech.dev

  • api.webburnstech.dev

Observed behavior:

  1. Visiting the website loads normally at first.

  2. The browser is automatically redirected through:

    • /?i=1

    • /?i=2

    • /?i=3

  3. After the third redirect, the site is redirected to:

    • https://sv101.ifastnet.com/cookies.html

  4. The “Cookies are not enabled” page appears even though cookies are enabled.

Diagnostics performed:

  • Tested on multiple browsers.

  • Tested in Incognito/Private mode.

  • Disabled browser extensions.

  • Cleared cookies/cache.

  • Issue affects all hosted subdomains, not a single website.

  • Network tab shows normal page loads followed by the automatic ?i=1 → ?i=2 → ?i=3 verification sequence and then a redirect to cookies.html.

Conclusion:

The issue appears to occur within the InfinityFree/iFastNet browser verification or cookie validation system rather than the hosted website itself, since multiple independent domains and subdomains are affected in the same way.

If needed, I can provide HAR files, network logs, and screenshots of the redirect chain.
