Cloudflare, along with a majority of the world’s leading publishers and AI companies, is changing the default to block AI crawlers unless they pay creators for content.

    I absolutely hate cloudflare because they always block me whenever I visit a site while connected to any VPN server on Proton, regardless of country. Even when I’m not connected to a VPN I sometimes have trouble with them deciding my connection is suspicious despite not having anything that should trigger it.

      Make a dummy Google Account, and log into it when on the VPN. Having an ad history avoids the blocks usually. (Note: only do this if your browsing is not activist related/etc)

      Also, if it’s image captchas that never end, switch to the accessibility option for the captcha.
