Veriox is designed so that an outage on our side never takes down your site.

​
What “fail open” means

If the Veriox Platform API is unreachable — due to a Veriox outage, network issue, or maintenance — your Cloudflare Worker will serve your pages normally without injecting the verification popup. Visitors will be able to access your content unverified during the outage period.

​
Why we do this

The alternative — blocking all visitors when Veriox is down — would mean a Veriox outage becomes your outage. For merchants running e-commerce, media, or any site where availability matters, that is unacceptable. We believe it is better for a small number of unverified visitors to get through during a brief outage than for your site to go dark.

​
What happens to existing sessions

Existing verified sessions (visitors who already have a session cookie) are validated by the worker locally using the cookie signature. These visitors are not affected by API outages — the worker does not need to contact the API to validate an existing session.
