This is what happens when you try to visit this site with Tor: https://anonm.gr/up/b386.png

Cloudflare's captchas are nearly impossible to solve, which means that Tor users are effectively blocked from seeing the site. Would you consider using something other than Cloudflare to host the site?

When that happens I always just click “New Tor Circuit for this Site” repeatedly, until I get one of the other two forms of CAPTCHA, both of which are solveable.

I tried that, but I never got an easier captcha even after many attempts.

Yeah, it can take quite a while sometimes, but eventually I always get one. For this site I got an easy one on the second try.

I used to try to solve the hard ones, but I found I could not do it; it’s most often impossible to guess what all the letters are in the garbled mess with inverted blobs on top. From your example, I think it’s supposed to be “Thtllyt nthrwhyy”, but I’m usually wrong.
