Also don't forget: Cloudflare breaks many second and third world countries' Internet with their DNS captchas because they think the good guys live only in first world countries (maybe look up the word discrimination in your dictionary cloudflare) and force them to install extensions like PrivacyPass because they think "we are so big and know what is right for the world".
- input_sh 7y agoThat's CDN captcha, not DNS. If you use Cloudflare solely as a DNS provider, your users don't see the captcha. If you route your traffic through their servers, then they do.
- therealmarv 7y agoyou're right, it's their CDN not their DNS. Nevertheless many site owners choose Cloudflare (paid or not paid) and use Cloudflare's default settings and maybe they also never check their sites from second or third world countries. Result is that the Internet is utterly broken on many Cloudflare hosted sites (and that's a lot of sites) outside of first world countries.
- iudqnolq 7y agoOP here. You're right, and even in the US I still get endless CAPTCHAs because I browse on Firefox on Linux with tracking prevention. My website was down for yak shaving when this happened, but before then I had DDOS protection turned off.
