I couldn't view the blog post.
The "Just a moment" security check does not complete - sits there, with the busy icon, "Verifying".
Using Tor Browser, which will be why.
This is normal behaviour for Cloudflare sites.
Making a new circuit sooner or later gets past the check, usually after between two and five retries.
Curiously, I can never view Shopify sites. They always and fully block Tor.
- meibo 3y agoThat sucks, but it's also just a business decision. If 97%(I made that up, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was that high) of purchases through Tor are fraudulent, then it makes a lot of sense to just not allow it. Take your money elsewhere.
- harabat 3y agoThere was a report posted on HN months ago showing the proportion of fraudulent vs legitimate activities on Tor vs non-Tor across a pool of websites. Tor users were (slightly, IIRC) more likely to be malicious, but they represented a drop in the bucket against all malicious users. Maybe some sites that do block Tor might be seeing different proportions, I'd wager most of them do it because Tor == bad for most people. I'll add the source when I find it.
