Why Cloudflare CAPTCHAs to even see the forum??

It effects mxlinux.org and the forum.

My 2 Cents:

With Slimjet (Chromium based) I never see Captcha . Just verifying you're a human, that's it. Not so bad.

I see the same with Firefox ESR, haven't seen or had to do the captcha thingo, just have to allow cloudflare with uBlock Origin then click the verify you're a human checkbox.

That is the way it is setup, as I know. Just the verify you are human box.

To be clear: this one, right? https://mxlinux.org/category/blog/feed/

Yes and yes.

hello
antix-viewer and MX-Viewer result "Please unblock challenges.cloudflare.com to proceed."

[Eadwine Rose]

We cannot do that. Please read this post in this very thread.

we did try to lower the security level last nite. and the forum almost immediately went down.

I would settle in for the long haul. having the captcha is better than not having the forum.

also, I have zero problems with firefox and the captcha. can't say about conflicts with third-party extensions, that could happen I suppose, depending on the extension.

the time to get to forum is not related to the captcha. even with the captcha, we are still being hammered by bots and so occasionally its still going to slow down from time.

one other thing richb told me...one of the behaviors that the anti-bot tech looks for is rapid refreshes.

Same with Brave. Fairly tight security settings. Always incognito.

Today, it is OK with Palemoon now. So wait & see ...
