1894448 - Access blocked by fastly captcha

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Web Compatibility :: Knowledge Base, defect)

Description

[James Graham [:jgraham]]

The symptom is that a user solves a captcha (usually a puzzle piece) and then gets a message like:

You have been blocked

Why? Something about the behaviour of the browser has caught our attention.

There are various possible explanations for this:

    You are browsing and clicking at a speed much faster than expected of a human being.
    Something is preventing JavaScript from working on your computer.
    There is a robot on the same network as you.

Disabling ETP doesn't fix the problem.

The captcha is loaded from geo.captcha-delivery.com which seems to be run by fastly.

I have notified a contact at Fastly about these.

This issue was fixed upstream, so there's nothing left for us to do here. Closing.
