I travel often. Sometimes I use a VPN, sometimes I don't. I use a heavily customized Firefox config on Linux.
Cloudflare challenges have made large portions of the web unusable for me.
Some recent examples
- The "unsubscribe" button in Indeed's job notification emails leads me to an impassable Cloudflare challenge. The "Contact Us" page is also behind an impassable Cloudflare challenge.
- While migrating a non-profit off of A2 Hosting, their login forces me to re-enter credentials after failing a challenge, looping endlessly.
- On a particularly ironic note, I tried to complain on the Cloudflare Forums—met with another impassable challenge.
Is anyone else dealing with this mess?
