Might be the timezone you're in. The evil-doers might be asleep at those times. Popularity (among those evil-doers) might be a factor too.I log on to two other phpBBs several times each week. Both have installed Cloudflare; I have no problems with those two phpBB, nor, for that matter, VoidTools.
I do have regular -- almost daily -- issues with voidtools' forum search and Active Topics (which is basically a forum search too) when not using a Windows machine. But I consider that largely irrelevant as Everything is a Windows application.
One phpBB forum that completely gave up fighting the bots is dostips.com
AutoHotkey has disabled the phpBB search feature when not logged in.
