I have finally given up on so many websites that refuse to believe I am human even after clicking the stupid box at least 6 times.

    That sucks as a user but it’s necessary for the retailers because of fraud bots. If you’re getting loads of these prompts then it’s possible you have some malware running somewhere on your network which is causing more suspicion for your IP address.

      I don’t have a network, as far as I know. I’m just using my tablet or computer at home off my wifi.

        Your WiFi is your network. Run a virus scan on that phone and computer, and anyone else’s you might live with.

          This is not directed at you, you’re just trying to help, but more at the situation.

          Yes, because this is the future we craved, having to be security, financial and healthcare experts to survive.

            I believe all those green checkmarks mean your IP address is ‘good’. If the whole list for you is green then this method hasn’t identified a problem

            So it doesn’t appear to be something on your network (though you should check this again in a couple of days as your IP may change regularly). Another possibility is a browser extension causing suspicion. What browser are you using and do you have any browser extensions installed? Also, do you experience these insistent CloudFare challenges on your laptop and phone or just on your laptop?

        Are you using a VPN? This tends to trigger them and unfortunately seems to be a necessity of trying to maintain some privacy.
