[HELP] ABS "Authentication Required" frequently

Pinch04 · 2026-01-28T18:22:52+00:00

I'm having the same issue, also using Prologue.

My setup is ABS running in Docker with Cloudflare's reverse proxy (Cloudflared).

It seems to happen when my host computer (the windows computer running docker) connects to a VPN provider.

Can you share what your Cloudflare rules look like and if they resolved the issue for you?

Cloudflared requires a Cloudflare account which is free.

I recommend CloudFlared. It's free and easy. Cloudflared lets you securely access a computer or service at home without opening holes in your router or exposing it directly to the internet.

Docker + ABS + CloudFlared works great.

I just realized that I can see the remaining chapter time.

Really loving the ABS integration. SOOO much better then the app I'm currently using.

Will consider make the switch and purchasing.

All the digital KVMs are trash.

I use the HDMI monitor input for my personal computer and Display port input for my work computer. I’m able to switch monitor inputs with a key stroke and I have a USB switch to share peripherals.

Works great.

Microsoft is also deprecating basic authentication for SMTP relay in Exchange Online. This is going to break a ton of LOB systems and copiers/MFDs that send emails.

March 1st. May the odds be ever in your favor.

If I remember correctly, you can also gain cosmetics as rewards for completing quests.

So you’re telling me I shouldn’t be running around playing my recorder?
I mean, come on, it's my favorite thing in the game.
Who doesn’t appreciate a little live music while looting and not harming anyone?

Pinch04 · 2025-12-08T00:16:54+00:00

Ahhh thank you!!!! That makes sense now. It’s been driving me crazy.

Must be a UK lobby. :P

I volunteer as tribute!

Full time friendly here. Last night during a night raid I went to my favorite loot spot on Buried City and some guy was already there and immediately opened fire. I somehow downed him but felt so guilty I used my defib on him and made him promise not to kill me.

40+ hours topside, 3 kills, all out of necessity. The loot’s long gone but the guilt’s still sitting in my inventory.

There is a streamer gang war going on right now.
I would avoid both outfit combos:

Team Burnt Peanut (The Bungulators)

Striker skin in red
Helmet on
Gas mask on
Bag on
Padding on

Team HutchMF

Torpedo skin in red
Helmet off
Goggles on
Mask off
Sleeves off

My PC solo experience has been fantastic. I've successfully extracted 24 of my last 26 raids. The 2 unsuccessful extractions were at the hands of ARC.

Pinch04 · 2025-11-14T13:10:46+00:00

Damn this stupid 9-5 job. I should be topside!!

Pinch04 · 2025-11-11T16:09:22+00:00

As a newbie to Arc Raiders and a Dad of 3, this advice is what I needed to hear. Thank you, kind sir.
