Is Cloudflare aggressive against mobile IPs and incognito?

[Fudge Brownie]

There are some sites I visit where I noticed that the Cloudflare human verification check is really aggressive against me whenever I use my mobile data to connect.

But that's not all cause I noticed the same thing when I visit the sites in incognito mode.

It's extra bad if it's incognito mode on a mobile IP.

Has anyone else experienced this before?

I only ever get this with Google whenever I use incognito or my phone data.

Cloudflare though, I think it depends on how aggressive the site admin has their settings.

I don't think mobile IPs in particular are the problem. It's the pattern of detection. And bad neighborhood issues.

CF handles an enormous amount of traffic. And IPs are relatively misused/abused.

Mobile proxies are a thing. While most legitimate proxy providers use mobile setups and rent out data in form of proxies, a large number of these providers use hacked/infected devices.

Then there are phones that are silently infected and then used as part of a botnet or worse. Either to issue distributed denial of service attacks or for scanning purposes or for other illegitimate things (including fake visits and fooling ad networks etc.)

This kills the IP reputation for a lot of mobile ISPs.

Also, since these addresses are frequently rotated, this causes issues to legitimate users like yourself.
