General Discussion • Re: wtf? almost every forum and website is on cloudflare now?

That's the weird part. I have an account on youtube, and am also watching stuff day and night. While my IP changes occasionally, and has been for a long time (years), it's only these last 30 days that I've gotten googles ReCaptcha like 5-10 times. Just doing what I usually do..

I just went to site which lets me know what my IP is. As far as I can tell, my IP address for the computer I am presently on has not changed. So I'm guessing my IP address is static (does not change).

I think the privacy types like to "hide" their IP address or having it change constantly with some program they are using and I am guessing this is why they run into trouble accessing some sites since CF and other CF type companies are now in vogue.
