Cloudflare Human Prompt (lemmy.world)

I get asked to check the box to prove I'm human multiple times a day, from opening an article on here, to going to cloudflare.com to see if they had advice on not getting hit with it all the time.

If I have a VPN active and/or I am using a secure browser I always tend to get it. Currently using PIA and Cromite. Is there anything short of just giving up privacy that can be used to verify and maybe hold like a token lease so I can maybe only do it once a day or once per VPN connection?

Not really. Anything you do would also likely be something their targets (AI scrapers) could be made to do. I also think this is a lead-in for Cloudflare to charge money for the privilege of being proven human to avoid their Turnstile platform. Create the problem and then charge for the solution...

    I may have found a way while working on something else. I'm still testing but while using a VPN I set up SOCK5 for proxy settings and am testing it out now. I'm sure it'll be a few days before I can draw any real conclusions, but I have not been able to trigger a are you human request yet. I need to find some sites to test it on.
