Cloudflare's latest tricks while using a Tor Browser - now blaming website owners for blocking you and removing their own logo from the block-page, to avoid faster recognition and association. (lemmy.ml)

is this true though? https://chaos.social/@sindastra/108714913157859617:

By default, Cloudflare does not block Tor users.

It really is the site admin who configures Cloudflare to block Tor.

This is like adding Tor exit node IPs to iptables, except they're using Cloudflare instead of >iptables. It's the site admin who really is responsible. You wouldn't blame iptables, either.

This is FUD.

Also it only does this if you're using cf proxy which is pointless if you're running tor.
