Is it just me or does anyone else have to fill this stupid thing out several times a day (I check the site roughly about every other hour)
I've had it often. I just shut down my browser, restart it and head back here. Seems to work. I believe it has something to do with Google, but I could be wrong.
I have tried, nothing makes it go away. I've reset my browser, ran scans, etc. I did find PUPs and a sneaky Malware program acting as a Windows program (Advanced Windows Manager - it's a very sneaky malware that I got removed by trying HitmanPro) so I thought it would stop, but it hasn't. It will be gone for a few hours, then I have to do it again and select bicycles or boats, etc and then few hours later, have to do it again.
It's just extremely annoying and more often I haven't been visiting Zone because it's that annoying.
I use Google Analytics Blocker add on with Firefox. That may have an effect on it, but that's just a guess.
Its show by Cloudflare ... it helps to reduce DDoS attack
When Cloudflare detected too many requests from the same network they show this captcha ...
Just like you see in google when you use VPN.
Also, some guys want to brut force to get access back panel ... Cloudflare prevents those traffic ...So for the greater good, we should sacrifice some of our comforts 🙁
even I have to solve this captcha whenever I visit zonegfx 🙁If your IP doesn't get changed ... you will not see this captcha for a day or more
You will just see Cloudflare checking your browser ... that's all.
if your cache and log in get clear .. you may see this captcha ...
So don't log out when you close your browser ... keep cache ...I get it randomly on other websites as well, and it never started until I started using Zone within the past few months. First just Zone, then slowly a few other sites I occasionally use.
I get it several times a day. It never goes away for more than two-three hours. I have to complete the captcha.
Which looking into it more, I guess having an infected PC will cause it too, and it takes around two weeks for it to stop after that once it's gone.
I did manage to find the malware, and hopefully fully got rid of it with HitmanPro. None of my other antivirus or programs detected it.
Windows Defender, Malwarebytes, McAfee, none of them picked this malware up, but HitmanPro's 30 day free trial did and said it was isolated and removed.
@theorphaners I have a tip! Delete everything after the domain and press enter! So you can trick the captcha! Works well with me!
I'll give it a go!
I've checked 13 different IP spam/blacklist checkers and my IP address is 100% safe and clean, so it's not for malicious/blacklisted activity. So it must be because of the malware. I JUST got rid of it (hopefully... idk how to check) so in two weeks I guess we'll see if it stops.
