Blocked in websites using cloudflares
Hello,
When orbot is enabled, i can't visit any site using cloudflare without being redirected to a page with a captcha, wich is pretty annoying. Strangely, i don't have a such problem with the tor browser.
Is it possible to make orbot bypass it ?
Nothing can be done. Cloudflare just like Wikipedia uses API that Tor Project itself provides to say whether ipv4(v6) address is indeed a Tor exit.
Wikipedia also horribly abuses this and logs ips, no proof from me though about last one. https://github.com/wikimedia/mediawiki-extensions-TorBlock/search?q=tor
The API from them is called Onionoo https://onionoo.torproject.org https://metrics.torproject.org/onionoo.html#examples
You can resist if you like.
This is about Cloudflare, not Tor Project. They are fully responsible for this.
Meanwhile in the last months google gone nuts and does not even allow for a captha anymore and cloudflare also blocks more and more. Horrible. Please stop Onionoo!
I've noticed that if I use Brave with Orbot, I in fact get through many of the "I am not a robot" cloudflare checks without having to solve a captcha. Brave might implement some of the mechanism Cloudflare have offered to reduce the amount of times it asks to prove you are a human.

You are wrong, because not a robot was google's captha, but cloudflare does not use google captcha API anymore, they moved to crazy hCaptcha. And no, I was talking about outright an error printing.
Sorry, I just meant the conceptual proof of that... it may not always say "I am not a robot", in fact it is often Cloudflare's HCaptcha.
My point stands, that, when using Brave+Orbot I am reliably able to access most sites I choose to visit without much trouble.
in fact it is often
If it is google captcha then it is just mimicking Cloudflare, AFAIK. Yeah.
