Google has recently announced policy changes that would make it impractical for us to continue using their invisible reCAPTCHA v3 service.

 

I have removed this service from our pages, replacing it with Cloudflare Turnstile in only certain parts of the site (login, registration, contact and PM).

 

You will notice that a new test will appear on those pages, but not everyone will see it as, with time, it will get smarter and only show the test if needed.

Out of curiosity what was the policy change?




I'm a geek, a gamer, a dad, a Quic user, and an IT Professional. I have a full rack home lab, size 15 feet, an epic beard and Asperger's. I'm a bit of a Cypherpunk, who believes information wants to be free and the Net interprets censorship as damage and routes around it. If you use my Quic signup you can also use the code R570394EKGIZ8 for free setup. Opinions are my own and not the views of my employer.

I've put Turnstile on a couple of my (extremely low traffic) personal websites 4-5 months ago.  They used to get 2-3 spam comments a week slip through the spam protection I was using (not reCaptcha).  Turnstile is amazing - I haven't had a single spam since.

Is it expected behaviour to block VPNs?
When I tried to log in I got warnings saying I was using an outdated browser. Only fixed when I deactivated my VPN.
(Chrome android, Express VPN set to NZ)




Interests: HTPC, Web App authoring.

I am not targeting VPNs, but I am targeting Bad Networks (TM), and some VPNs might be using those.

 

If the Turnstile script loads and passes then you should see Geekzone.

 

The VPN is probably blocking the Turnstile script, hence the "Old browser" message. Check your settings for "Block tracking" or "Block scripts" or something similar.

 

Just for an idea, only 0.09% of traffic coming from these networks pass the test.
