Don't like Captcha

Sorry, but the new security measure for getting onto the site is not very user friendly at all.

It's been known that Captchas, especially the ones that are "pick these out of those shown" are not disabled friendly either.

I'm not saying to eliminate Captcha altogether—just use a different one. The "one-click" captchas do the same as any other capctha and with half the effort.

Just saying....

You are only getting them as you are coming from a really bad network used by spammers and hackers, turn off your vpn and they will stop.

No. That defeats the whole point of using VPNs—they're meant to "cloak" source IP and traffic from local ISP.

This problem keeps happening every time I have my VPN on and try to access this site.

I understand the need to have security controls for traffic, but blocking all known VPN provider IPs is not exactly "smart". Cloudfare shouldn't even be able to do that.

The problem with blocking all potentially bad IPs is that you run the risk of blocking legitimate users (such as myself). I don't even get the captcha anymore (which is an improvement) but am instead blocked entirely. The likelihood that someone bad is using a VPN service is plausible but doesn't warrant blocking all IPs for a given provider. Simply because an IP looks good to some tracker doesn't suddenly mean it isn't actually doing some shady stuff (VPN or otherwise).

I don't see this site needing the over the top exclusion since you guys don't even deal with PCI-DSS. You have nothing that's valuable.

Cloudfare shouldn't be acting on potential positives. It should react to what is actually a threat once it happens (for which you can actually use IPs to block for; not the other way around). Otherwise you wind up with this mess that it is now.

Got in today with VPN on.

Going to wait and see for Cloudfare to block my next IP. I'll take photos so that I have proof.
