Title: Cloudflare Tor CAPTCHA page doesn't work in Firefox / TorBrowser
Post by: cryptal on April 21, 2013, 10:54:10 AM
Quite often with the Bitcoin wiki, Bitcoin-24 and other Bitcoin site, when I access them through TorBrowser, I get the annoying CAPTCHA gateway in the screenshot below.

The problem is that clicking the damn "REQUEST ACCESS" button doesn't do anything. TorBrowser comes with Firefox 17.0.5 which is like ages behind 19.0.2, but I doubt a newer version would support Cloudflare's shit code, which closes a </div> without opening one (see line 2 in the code dump below).

Is anyone close enough to Cloudflare to get them to fix this?

Cloudflare simply sucks, for poor website operators. It is like a fastfood in world of DDoS Protection.

It's not that bad, if you can protect mail servers etc it'll work well.

I don't like the idea of allowing a 3rd party to man-in-the-middle on a bitcoin website. That is a lot of trust.
