So, trying to read the documentation @ [Module Index](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/latest/collections/index_module.html). This works just fine. But when I click on any of the links say [community.proxmox.proxmox](https://docs.ansible.com/projects/ansible/latest/collections/community/proxmox/proxmox_module.html#ansible-collections-community-proxmox-proxmox-module) I get blocked.

Any help would be appreciated.

Seems to be all possible collections are affected.

Your screenshot says “You are unable to access [readthedocs.io](http://readthedocs.io)”, so maybe it’s not directly a problem with the Ansible documentation?

I don’t know if it helps, but in theory you should also find module documentation on [Galaxy](https://galaxy.ansible.com/ui/collections/). Although there are [one](https://forum.ansible.com/t/3496/9) or [two](https://forum.ansible.com/t/46188) known issues there…

I experienced this earlier today as well while searching through some of the docs and think it’s down to rate limiting by Read the Docs: [Automated access to Read the Docs — Read the Docs user documentation](https://docs.readthedocs.com/platform/stable/automated-access.html#automated-access-to-read-the-docs)

Maybe it’s a cloudflare issue. In any case if you are still blocked after a while you might need to [contact RTD support](https://docs.readthedocs.com/platform/stable/support.html) with that cloudflare ray ID. It just seemed to go away for me, although it was annoying.

Another option for getting to the docs is to clone the repo with the generated HTML and view them locally, for example:

```auto
git clone git@github.com:ansible-community/package-doc-builds.git --depth 1
ls package-doc-builds/docs/collections/community/proxmox/

```
