[tor-talk] Did Cloudflare CAPTCHAs became more agressive lately?

[nusenu]

Hi,

at least to me, it feels like I have to solve a lot more
Cloudflare CAPTCHAs (more frequently and a lot more per test)
then it used to be.

Did you get the same impression?
Has something changed on Cloudflare's end?
Did the introduction of Cloudflare's onion services
have any role in that?

regards,
nusenu

Nick Sullivan (Cloudflare Employee) said the following to me a response to
my email about the captchas and various other things:
"Yep, we're aware of the failure and are going to try to push a hot fix as
soon as we can figure out what changed. In the meantime, the CAPTCHAs
should be solved by refreshing the page with alt-svc present, no?"

They're definitely aware it, it's likely not intentional, and they're
trying to find what about Tor Browser changed to start triggering the
CAPTCHAs. Hopefully this will be resolved soon :)

Cordially,
Nathaniel Suchy
