I really liked this puzzle -- lots of interesting little sum calculations, none of which were super taxing. I do hope you can update the link to the CTC puzzle, as that's still off -- a bit off, but I was able to solve it using the f-puzzles link.

As djorr said, the SudokuPad link does not match the image and gives a version of the puzzle that does not solve correctly.

This was a very fun puzzle but many of the clues in the picture are not in the SudokuPad link and some of the clues are wrong in the link. The link should be updated.

I managed to solve it, but I had to completely disregard the boxed cages-rule in box 5 and 8.

After considering boxes 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8, I don't think this puzzle can be solved.
