Telkom LTE Cloudflare I'm not a robot challenges everywhere

[barendict]

Hi peoples,

I recently started having the issue where I'm getting cloudflare and other "I'm not a robot" challenges all over the internet. Even google. This is isolated to my Telkom fixed LTE connection. And believe me, I don't have any unusual traffic coming from my machine. Mainly just wondering if it is just me or whether anyone else is having the same issue? Cheers.

S**t. Instantly the challenges are gone. I will keep watching... What is the reason for this?

This seems likely. See last comment:

They made the change a few months ago. It was supposed to protect mobile users from attacks but caused mayhem with fixed LTE etc. You'll be fine on unrestricted going forward...
