I always try to access websites that can't be normally accessed in my country (Like binance and bitcoin) and when I use a VPN to access it, cloudflare captcha refreshes the page 1 million times and it decides not to work (For some reason). any ideas? why does this even happen?

@nemesis OP is asking how to get around cloudflare blocking him. Alternative frontends are a solution. Maybe you don't like it, cry about it I guess.
From the OP
why does this even happen?
sounds to me like why it happens is the question considering that is the exact question. And telling someone to not use a cloudflared site doesn't help when using a cloudflared site.

in many cases, alternative frontends do bypass cloudflare. e.g. ao.bloat.cat bypasses cloudflare on the stackoverflow universe.
@bulletbill22 Ignoring the part where this still doesn't answer the actual question that was asked, just how does that help when a site someone wants to access doesn't have an alt front end? Which is the overwhelming majority of websites in existence. If you can access every site you go to with an alt front end, good for you. But many people go to more than a handful of websites. I could list over 100 I visit regularly, none of which have alt front ends, many of which use cloudflare or something similar. So are you saying I (or anyone else) should just not go to these sites I find useful? I (or anyone) should rob myself of valuable information, cuz cloudflare? Its not like cloudflare just magically appears out of nowhere trying to stop you from accessing information. The website owner purposely uses it, more often than not to protect from bots and other bullshit. Is it the best option? Probably not. But its the website owner's choice to use it and that choice isn't made because they want to stop you from accessing their site. That's the whole point of having a website, so people can access it.

Yeah tough. If you're trying to get around state censorship with a VPN that cloudflare doesn't like, and there's no available alternative frontend, then you just have to do without.
@Bukkit if i not wrong
