It works fine outside of HK so yet another reason to leave

Its not working properly from a standard ISP-provided IP here in Singapore either. Lots of truck/plane identification required. At least we can comfort ourselves with the knowledge that we're helping advance the state of the art in image recognition ML.

Thanks for that. One more data point to send to Cloudflare.

BTW would appreciate any RAY ID (long alpha numerical strings) if any of yiu can copy paste it in here.

Worst case if this does not resolve we can wing it and disable ddos protection to allow our angry old men in bold to get through.

I will race you to the other side (but actually I am holding up much better than I expected )

Update: This one is going to be interesting and non-trivial to figure out. There is one (more may be dozens) badly configured crawler of sorts that is coming in via come Smartone, HK Telecom and Hutchison IP ranges.. the automatons detect these and mark those ranges or individual IP addresses as "not good" and will continue to throw image challenges.

Still not able to detect a meaningful pattern to them .. but do have some "signatures" to play with.

Nope, in Portugal on my iphone without VPN I am staring at little planes, trucks etc…(not all the time though, maybe two out of four times, from the exact same network location on my end)

I wasn't aware of this thread until now. In case it helps: I have no problem logging on from Malaysia.

Some changes have been made in the last hour. Do let me know if the problem continues.. Did notice that about 3.5K visitors were given image challenges in the last 24Hrs...will continue to monitor

Turn off your VPN if you want to skip the capcha challenge.

No VPN and they still appear. Using a different browser helps.

Feels like trying to use Amazon in China back in the day. Slow patchy service. Time to 百度贴吧's expat pages?

Have a few more tweaks to go in later. I think I have it figured out this time. Had a light bulb moment as to why we have this problem... Give me about 4 hours.

Ive been getting a lot of 1020 errors and having to choose pictures with airplanes lately as well - not using vpn - IPs are my mobile phone and landline in Taiwan.
