Cloudfare requiring CAPTCHA

[justinc 0]

Cloudflare www.cloudflare.com, as of today, is requiring CAPTCHA for both it's own or any protected site.  I have tried both Switzerland and Sweden VPN.

 

This is a major pain.  Any ideas of how to resolve would be appreciated.

Same issue with the Austrian servers

[Brainbleach 5]

canadian servers aren't requiring CAPTCHA on any cloudflare sites.

This problem seems to affect all servers at this time.

 

Let's see what the staff say abaout this issue.

I am having this issue as well, have tried several North American servers, most websites are popping up with a Cloudflare captcha splash screen.

Same issue with a lot of websites in Germany when connected to AirVPN. Started yesterday and more and more sites are being affected. It helped to connect to a different server in a different country. But today the server that worked yesterday now also shows the Captcha screen... 

 

This is a major issue! When I checked one of those sites with a whois search I see that this:

Nameserver: elliot.ns.cloudflare.com

Nameserver: kristin.ns.cloudflare.com

 

Is there a hijacking going on?  Unfortunately I have not enough technical knowledge...

There is still nothing to do with captchas on 3d party services. The only way to control it is when you ask the owner of the website

to add an IP in their whitelist rules. Something that is not practical in 99% of the cases anyway.

Tor users are also "suffering" from captchas on Cloudflare for years. Nobody there seem to care.

War on VPN's

As a small workaround you can register a new Google account and sign in to it in order to have a cookie from Google.

Cloudflare uses Recaptcha which is a service provided by Google.

When you have a valid Google cookie, and Google does not see abusive behavior from this account, the amount of Captchas

and their complexity drastically decreases. Many times you will have to just click the green checkbox and that's it.

Getting this a lot with UK servers too.  I once found a page to look up the ip that's affected, and was able to remove it, but I can't seem to find it anymore.  Then again, I'd be doing it every time I got a new ip

There is a case for having 3 browsers.

1. The "normal idiot" browser which stores cookies for ease of access, eg goggle or tracebook or twiterr or ...; and says to the sales teams and police and crims and employers HR and ...;

"park in my loungeroom and bedroom; and watch and record all you like; and tell everyone about it that wants to pay, and just tell me what you decide I need to know, ..."

This can avoid captchas and logins, and bore people and AIs.

I use Google Chrome for this.

2. The "normal use" browser which has various convenience and efficiency and security and privacy function addons such as NoScript, Adblock Origin, HTTPS Everywhere, Cookie Controller, ...

I use Firefox for this.

3. The "paranormal paranoia" browser for back channeling with Vladimir's bankers about the funds transfers.

I don't need this, but there have been suggestions, including the Tor browser fork with(out) Tor.

 

Of course, you put all this inside a Linux VM so M$ and its marketing associates and common malware has too hard problems if you want some other W10 capabilities, such as good drivers for the hardware.

And use one or more VPNs to disappoint your ISP/telco.

And associate different email accounts and "roles/identities" with the different browsers for schizo "modern times" usage.

That's not a diagnosis you can make for everybody, I guess. No google or google-related (gstatic, doubleclick, youtube etc.) cookies here, but also no CAPTCHAs. I tend to think people read these forums and apply every possible measure to "hide" themselves from someone. Those CAPTCHAs might be a good measure whether one has overdone it.

I agree ,no google related stuff on my disk either. But can you tell us more how you establish this balance .

Perhaps this subjects is more for a jabber room.
