Title: Cloudflare excuse me for my impatience
Post by: mdayonliner on October 20, 2021, 06:52:42 PM
It became impossible to login from TOR. After giving it a try for more than half an hour I was able to resolve the captcha. Then after finishing my writing when I wanted to make a post Cloudflare hanged me up for over ten minutes. The 5 seconds were never ending over ten minutes.

I hope making this topic does not become nightmare.

Logging in using the url on this page to bypass captcha https://bitcointalk.org/captcha_code.php and it will help you a lot.

As for the problems while posting I guess theymos can have tweaks if this is common to TOR users.

Nightmare using with TOR. The ALL in one page option also takes too long to load and Cloudflare is also in action. I used to use the forum from clear net and this could be the reason I did not have such problem before.

I think it is a problem related to your browser more than being server side, access to the forum using TOR is bad but it takes an average
 one minute or two, maybe you need to restart your device and delete some cookies.

Overall, bypass captcha will help you to avoid a lot of headaches, I used a lot and I did not have any problem.

I just checked (by clicking "All (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=14356.0;all)" on a long topic in Tor browser), and I confirm it shows this forever:

I don't think that helps against Cloudflare.

I assume that has to do with restrictions where you live? Otherwise you could just use clearnet again, once you've used clearnet on an account, switching to Tor doesn't hide your identity.

I only mean for the login/captcha related issue of mdayonliner though, cloudflare is on another issue.

Does the forum store all IP addresses from the first day someone created an account on this forum? So anyone who has ever accessed a forum with their real IP address makes no sense to use Tor at all? I know there is Limit IP retention as an option in the profile, some interesting information can be found there.

When it comes to privacy, it's best to assume anything is stored forever. You can never be sure of something being removed.

This sounds to me like an issue with the addon which is included by default with Tor Browser called NoScript Security Suite. Cloudflare requires scripts enabled for that to work function to work, lowering your security level inside of Tor Browser would potentially solve the problem. Though, whether your happy to do that depends on the security threat model, which will differ from user to user.

If you use NoScript Security Suite on a browser such as firefox without a Tor connection, it'll clearly tell you that you need to enable Javascript to proceed, though for whatever reason when a Tor connection, and the addon is combined, it tries to redirect without showing that page.

I'm using only TOR on the PC every day, and I log in a few time a day using the bypass captcha link and never had any issues. Nice to see you around again btw.
