The only site that has ever asked me to solve a CAPTCHA before browsing content was pcpartpicker.com, and even that one stopped making me solve a CAPTCHA.
Do you browse the web behind a VPN, Tor, or something else to hide your IP? That's been known to trigger CF's CAPTCHAs.
Yes, it's my VPN triggering it. I run my own Wireguard on a DigitalOcean box, and I'm the only user--so not exactly a lot of bad traffic coming off of my IP (may have in the past, though).
With the prevalence of Cloudfare now, it's pretty onerous to captcha every visit to a new site just because VPN. You would think Cloudfare could at least give me a "session" that persisted across the web, if they're going gatekeep the whole fucking thing.
