I have noticed that some CAPTCHA pages, like Cloudflare’s, simply ask you to check a box to proceed. There is no clicking on traffic lights or entering characters. How does clicking on a check box tell them I am not a robot?

    I suspected this was the case! Like a silly human, I’ve been intentionally “wiggly” with my mouse movements for this very reason, hoping i don’t have to do a harder form of capthca. Haha. Now I only know I’m only a little crazy for doing so.

      And, cloudflare creates a proxy (including it’s own SSL certificate by default!) between you and every cloudflare site. So they’re able to see all data, even on https secured pages.

      And they make up a huge portion of the Internet 😊

      don’t forget about 1.1.1.1, cloudflare’s dns.
