Does CloudFlare only work for humans?
By Ghammaz-Hassan, history, 12 months ago, In English

There are so many bots that are blocking the queue. Does CloudFlare only check humans to verify that they are humans? Does it say for bots that "Verifying you are a bot...." or just ignore them?

Cloudflare only does a computational check and some fingerprinting, which are really easy for bots to bypass

I don't know how CloudF blocks bots' access to CF.

BUT I DO KNOW HOW CLOUDFLARE BLOCKS MY ACCESS TO CF.
