Why Cloudflare CAPTCHAs to even see the forum??

[Jerry3904]

I'm using Vivaldi as my standard browser, and simply pin the Forum tab and then refresh it the next time I want to check what's happening.Only works for a while...

Hi:
With Cloudflare's filtering, the dark mode of the web with the “Dark Reader” extension is not working for me.
Anybody else has this happened, any solution, due to visual problems I find it essential to see the web in dark mode....

Best regards

No issues here with dark-mode enabled librewolf, as shown in attached image;

Well, in firefox it looks like this, only in the forum website, I'll try in Librewolf...

You would need disable lw's rfp (resist finger printing), I have two lw profiles enabled normal-light (with lw's default protection)
and dark-mode. Normally using default light mode, but sometimes dark mode:
Access to choose profile light or dark with right-click to select profile:

PS: Pale Moon seems also have no issue, sending this with PaleMoon.
++EDIT+++
To be clear, works for me with both default librewolfs profile with RFP (resist fingerprinting enabled)
and dark-mode:
Light captcha:

Dark captcha:

Would you rather that we capitulate and let the DDoS take us down?

See (eg) xcancel.com for a captcha that would work without enabling the exact technologies that are most likely to damage users.

If no-one asks CF for a non-Web-breaking solution, they'll just keep on blocking in the same way.

We are not only working with Cloudflare but also our hosting service.

I don't see how that helps. I went to that address and it prompts for a user name and for a donation but provides no other information about their service. I would have dug deeper but there are no entry points to do so.

With nordvpn enabled, I can't get past the cloudflare page.

see my post in the recent nordvpn page
viewtopic.php?p=794315#p794315

I was able to access another website that uses cloudflare, even with vpn on.

While it may not be a big deal for me as I don't regularly use vpn, this might impact a significant number of other users.

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.

Extremely Minor Issue:

My DarkReader 3rd-Party-App for Firefox is not working so well with the recent changes.

Given what's going on with the DDoS & Bot Attacks, I will wait it out and/or forgo the dark mode with DarkReader!

Stay Strong, MX

Do-ers of Evil:

MX-Team: Please let me/us know if there's anything we, simple Forum users can do to help stop the madness !

I looked around.. found https://midnight-lizard.org on reddit as a similar thing to dark reader, some even said it was better.

Other than that, I have no experience with it other than finding it on there Maybe that works better with CF.
