[image: i.imgur.com]Well, I am a guy who is pretty much fcked up by hCaptcha.

So recently, I have this issue where hCaptcha pops up every 10mins or so.

Yes I have contacted TORN Staff, made a thread about this. Got it disliked by a few people. TORN Staff or its Servers has got nothing to do with this but they atleast said that and are friendly.

Lol even when typing a new post in forums, it just resets my whole fcking post.

WTF can I even do ?

I don't use Grease Monkey. I don't use Tamper Monkey. I only use TornTools, AdBlock Plus and SWF Player. Thats it. But I always keep my DevTools open just to lookout for bugs.

So, how many of you have also been fcked up by hCaptcha during important TORN Times like Chaining or Attacking ?

If even you are pissed, just uplike this thread, bump it and share it.

Reading over this post, I don't see any rules or such for "Fun & Games". Maybe should be moved to General Discussion? It first sounds like Bugs & Issues, but it looks like you're just polling to see who also has the same issue.

I myself haven't had any issues with the captcha system yet. I'll keep a lookout, though.

hCaptcha isn't controlled by us, and in fact we also dislike it (reCaptcha is much better in our opinion).

This is Cloudflare picking up suspicious activity from your network and filtering it as a result, could be you're using a dodgy VPN, or perhaps there is an extremely high level of traffic in a very similar location that is giving CF some concern, and when they do so they'll force hCaptcha on your session.

These checks are only temporary though, but they're not of our design, nothing to do with bothunter or Torns own captcha system. To disable this would mean disabling our DDOS protection and leave ourselves vulnerable there, which is less than ideal.


Moved to questions.

I have had some weird Captcha in that it's not clear what the number is. I had problems moving among devices, and that was only one day. Most likely your network; are you piggybacking on another person's wifi?

Humanity wastes about 500 years per day on CAPTCHAs. It’s time to end this madness


Maybe they will soon go away ..?

Would have been great if they. But they don't have a single wifi connected device.

All they have is a smart TV, it is connected via ethernet.
