Captchas

[Pauduan]

Am getting a captcha check (accompanied by irritating picture checks) about three times a week now.

 

 

Anything I'm doing wrong? I don't see many complaints about this issue so I assume I am the only one.

 

This was today....

For what it's worth, I've never had it. No idea what the cause may be though.

hey, Pauduan,

it is a security measure triggered by Cloudflare. most times, it has something to do with your Country's IP, your Service Provider IP, or even your own IP array — e.g. an IP associated with your Provider or Array that has been blacklisted as Spammer. i get it sometimes as well (and not only here at LoversLab).
it's certainly an annoying procedure, but necessary so to help ensuring LL's safety.

cheers

edit I: read the "What Can I Do to Prevent This in the Future" section on the lower right; it explains what might have happened, and the countermeasures you may take.

edit II: if @CPU is available, he may explain this better.

I got into an argument with a lady using one of the public computers at my old store.

 

She had to do one of those "click all the pictures with...." captcha and was blaming us for some reason.

nothing the good old "punch in the nose" routine won't settle, Kamen.

You have no idea how often I was left wishing I could. I hated that job but needed the money and since I started the process to get a job on the subway, (which takes ages here in New York) I didn't want to leave it till push came to shove, so to speak.

Thanks for the response. The problem is that I see it once or twice a week, every week, week in and week out. I can understand if it happens occasionally but it seems like there is some sort of regular check and since I live in a country with hopping IP, I cannot guarantee the same IP every time I visit.

 

It's just very frustrating and what makes it worse are the picture checks whichy are basically blurry, out of focus shots at 64x64 resolution. I have a 2560x1600 screen and those look really small.

Hey, Pauduan,

the text on the lower right of the image you published on your original post recommends a user to install a Chrome Extension named "Privacy Pass" in order to avoid future issues with Cloudflare.
i gave it a quick look and believe it may help you/us/anyone who suffers from this annoyance;

"Privacy Pass handles passes containing cryptographically blinded tokens for bypassing internet challenge.
The Privacy Pass extension provides users with the ability to create and sign cryptographically blind tokens for websites that support the Privacy Pass protocol. The extension generates passes containing cryptographically "blinded" tokens that are signed by the web server when a challenge page is solved. These tokens are "unblinded" and stored by the extension for future use; they are redeemed automatically when a future challenge page is seen. The "blinding" procedure means that signed and redeemed tokens are cryptographically unlinkable from the server perspective and, as such, are suitable for usage in conjunction with external privacy measures (such as VPNs)."

 

those bloody blurry images are indeed a P.I.T.A.
hope this helps, mate.

cheers.
