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.
