[OPSEC/Computer] Cloudflare CAPTCHA page to access reddit.com

Why am I all of sudden having to do Cloudflare CAPTCHAs to access reddit (using TOR of course)?

I think it's part of reddit's anti DDoS measures.

I thik the NCAA basketball game is causing overloads which the system is intrepreting as a DDoS, so it's slowing down access.

I didn't get a captcha (not on tor) but I did get a "please wait a few seconds" page.

I have had the captcha when accessing non tor. Also got all servers busy a few times and cloud flare antiddos screen

I had to restart the tor daemon on my Linux box several times today because traffic grinded to a halt in all proxied apps. And now every page load on Reddit tells me … "Attention Required!"
