>and not superkuhbit6g4tfr4.onion

You mean superkuhbit6g4tf.onion. Although longer Tor based address hashes are coming soon for better security (https://blog.torproject.org/tors-fall-harvest-next-generatio...) so the trailing length of random chars will be even longer. Kind of mitigates my objection.

Still, Tor hidden services come with DoS/DDoS protection built in as well. Something Cloudflare and it's centralized service doesn't like to acknowledge.

Citation needed.


Cloudflare's business is providing DoS mitigation. Cloudflare blocks Tor users by default. Tor provides DoS protection for free. It's no citation but it's certainly reason to believe.


> Cloudflare blocks Tor users by default

Incorrect. We do not block Tor users by default and we massively changed our handling of Tor a very long time ago.


That's great news. I looked it up and it seems like it's almost been 2 years; not a very long time. I understand defaulting to re-captcha is a compromise and no better option exists for Cloudflare but you'll have to excuse me for not noticing the difference when I encounter "Your network is sending out automated queries" so often it's effectively a block.
