Captcha request each time someone visits the site #382

Closed m1ca closed 8 years ago

m1ca commented 8 years ago

One of our readers is presented with an "are you a human" captcha request on every visit. All works normally after the captcha, for the duration of each visit.

He's located in Beijing, but has set things up so some CDN resources (i.e. Google fonts, anything Wordpress) are loaded through a proxy, because a lot of that stuff is blocked in China. Proxy server is in the US.

He's using the latest Firefox.

That’s CloudFlare. He’s obviously, unfortunately, on a network that a lot of bad activity comes from, and CloudFlare is set to challenge users from areas where attacks are known to come from.

And there's nothing anyone can do? He says it's making him visit the site less and less, he's so frustrated.
