Weird experience with AlphaBay DDoS protection page linking to Reddit front page

Just wondering if anyone else has had this happen to them. Sometimes when I link to AlphaBay from the Market Superlist I get sent to the DDoS protection challenge page. It looks like this, I'm guessing most AlphaBay users are familiar with it:

Then, occasionally, the strangest thing happens. When I type in the code and hit 'validate', it links me to the front page of Reddit. Not back to the Market Superlist. Not back to the DNM sub page. But the full on front page of Reddit. This has happened when I:

Has this happened to anyone else here?? Can someone explain why it does that? It does not happen every time, but has happened repeatedly enough for me to find it strange.

I love how sometimes the DDOS protection pops up after you entered your login credentials...almost like they're farming us out to solve captchas for Russian botnets.........

you should be typing https://pay.reddit.com/r/darknetmarkets not just www.... the reasons are two fold at least. if you don't use https:// adversaries can see the GET request you made, involving the r/darknetmarkets part which could lead to interest in your TOR circuit and FURTHERMORE (and much more proviable since hte first attack needs a nationstate and this is just a rogue tor exit node which we KNOW exists) if you dont use https:// you are suspectible to a MITM where the exit node could insert a fake market address onto the page and use that to phish you.

just try the different links, or re-load the page multiple times until you start with the log-in credentials.

Whenever I see the captcha before log-in, i don't even bother coz it's just gonna send me to the fucking front page of reddit.

Just reload and reload till you get log in screen
